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 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 Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of three local storage and modular
companies, which consisted primarily of approximately 600 storage units and 800 modular units, for $70.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of the acquisition
dates, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $67.7 million.
Integration Costs
The Company recorded $3.1 million and $2.2 million in integration costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and the merger of WillScot

$5.9 million and $6.1 million in integration costs related to acquisitions and the merger during the six months ended June 30, 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 and
McGrath's shareholders. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory
approval, 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
June 13, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on June 28, 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 and (ii) an upsize to the existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) of Williams Scotsman, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("WSI"), 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.
The Company recorded $22.9 million and $35.2 million in legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of McGrath within selling, general
and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

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.
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 in future periods.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that a review of the carrying value of the Mobile Mini trade name was necessary based on the
Company's plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name. As of June 30, 2024, the Mobile Mini trade
name was tested for impairment using the relief from royalty valuation method. This valuation represents a Level 3 asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis. After determining the estimated fair value, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $132.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This
non-cash charge was recorded to impairment loss on intangible asset on the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining net book
value of the Mobile Mini trade name was $31.5 million, which will be amortized over a remaining useful life of approximately 3.1 years. The Company did not record
any other impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, the expected future amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows for the years ended December 31:

Senior Secured Notes
The 2025 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2025. At June 30, 2024, the 2025 Secured Notes were classified as long-term on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet because the Company has the intent and believes it has the ability to refinance this obligation on a long-term basis as demonstrated by
the forecasted available capacity under the ABL Facility if other refinancing efforts are unsuccessful or uneconomical.
On June 28, 2024, WSI completed a private offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "2029
Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A. Proceeds were used to repay approximately $495.0 million of outstanding indebtedness
under the ABL Facility and certain fees and expenses. The 2029 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum. Interest
is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2024. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2029
Secured Notes were $6.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
The 2025 Secured Notes, 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 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 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 2029 Secured Notes and the 2031 Secured Notes
(other than certain permitted), the collateral securing the 2029 Secured Notes and the 2031 Secured Notes will be released and the 2029 Secured Notes 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-related equipment. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations under
finance leases were $129.6 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 June 30, 2024.
NOTE 10 – Equity
Common Stock
In connection with the stock compensation vesting and stock option exercises described in Note 14, the Company issued 660,338 shares of Common
Stock during the six months ended June 30, 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,035,513 shares of Common Stock for $78.7 million, excluding excise tax. As of
June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available.

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 5.35% at June 30, 2024.
The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:
(in thousands) Balance Sheet Location June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Cash Flow Hedges:
Interest rate swaps Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 17,124 $ 9,145
Interest rate swaps Other non-current assets $ 7,894 $ —
Interest rate swaps Other non-current liabilities $ — $ (4,595)
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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

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 June 30, 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, the 2029 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

As of June 30, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes
included $2.5 million, $5.0 million, $6.9 million, and $6.0 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.

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

Executive Summary
We are a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey temporary space solutions. We service diverse end markets
across all sectors of the economy throughout the United States ("US"), Canada, and Mexico. As of June 30, 2024, our branch network included approximately 260
branch locations and additional drop lots to service our over 85,000 customers. We offer our customers an extensive selection of “Ready to Work” temporary space
solutions with over 152,000 modular space units and over 206,000 portable storage units in our fleet.
We primarily lease, rather than sell, our modular and portable storage units to customers, which results in a highly diversified and predictable recurring
revenue stream. Over 90% of new lease orders are on our standard lease agreement, pre-negotiated master lease or national account agreements. The initial lease
periods vary, and our leases are customarily renewable on a month-to-month basis after their initial term. Our lease revenue is highly predictable due to its recurring
nature and the underlying stability and diversification of our lease portfolio. Furthermore, given that our customers value flexibility, they consistently extend their
leases or renew on a month-to-month basis such that the average effective duration of our lease portfolio, excluding seasonal portable storage leases, is
approximately 38 months. We complement our core leasing business by selling both new and used units, allowing us to leverage scale, achieve purchasing benefits
and redeploy capital employed in our lease fleet.
Our customers operate in a diversified set of end markets, including construction, commercial and industrial, retail and wholesale trade, energy and natural
resources, education, government and institutions and healthcare. Core to our operating model is the ability to redeploy standardized assets across end markets.
We track several market leading indicators to predict demand, including those related to our two largest end markets, the commercial and industrial sector and the
construction sector, which collectively accounted for approximately 86% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We remain focused on our core priorities of growing leasing revenues by increasing units on rent, both organically and through our acquisition strategy,
delivering “Ready to Work” turnkey solutions to our customers with value added products and services ("VAPS"), and continually improving the overall customer
experience.
Significant Developments
Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp
On January 28, 2024, we 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, we expect 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 and
McGrath's shareholders. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory
approval, and is expected to close in 2024.
24
In connection with the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter dated January 28, 2024, which was amended and restated on June 13,
2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on June 28, 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 and (ii)
an upsize to the existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) of Williams Scotsman, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("WSI"), 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.
We recorded $22.9 million and $35.2 million in legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of McGrath within selling, general and
administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Financing Activities
On June 28, 2024, WSI completed a private offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "2029
Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A. Proceeds were used to repay approximately $495.0 million of outstanding indebtedness
under the ABL Facility and certain fees and expenses.
Mobile Mini Trade Name Impairment
In the second quarter of 2024, we determined that a review of the carrying value of the Mobile Mini trade name was necessary based on the Company's
plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name. As of June 30, 2024, the Mobile Mini trade name was
tested for impairment using the relief from royalty valuation method. After determining the estimated fair value, we recorded an impairment charge of $132.5 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This non-cash charge was recorded to impairment loss on intangible asset on the consolidated statement of
operations. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining net book value of the Mobile Mini trade name was $31.5 million, which will be amortized over a remaining useful life
of approximately 3.1 years.
Asset Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of three local storage and modular companies,
which consisted primarily of approximately 600 storage units and 800 modular units, for $70.6 million. As of the acquisition dates, the fair value of rental equipment
acquired was $67.7 million.
Share Repurchases
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,035,513 shares of Common Stock for $78.7 million, excluding excise tax. As of June 30,
2024, $419.5 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available. Given that we believe our free cash flow is predictable, we
believe that repurchases will be a recurring capital allocation priority.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In January 2024, we 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, we receive a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and make 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 our 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.
Segment Reporting
In January 2024, we completed the unification of our go-to market structure by integrating our modular and storage divisions under a single leadership
team organized by metropolitan statistical area (MSA), which enables us to consistently deliver our portfolio of solutions to our entire customer base. In connection
with this change in operating model, we realigned the composition of our operating and reportable segments. As a result, we concluded that our two operating
segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment.

Second Quarter Highlights
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, results and key drivers of our financial performance included:
• Total revenues increased $22.5 million, or 3.9%. Leasing revenue increased $9.3 million, or 2.1%, new unit sales revenue increased $12.4 million, or
137.4%, and rental unit sales increased $5.5 million, or 49.6%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in delivery and installation revenue of
$4.6 million, or 4.1%.
• Modular product revenue, which represented 77.8% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $32.6 million,
or 7.5%, to $470.4 million. The increase was driven by our core leasing revenue, which increased $12.3 million, or 3.6%, due to continued growth
of pricing and VAPS, as well as increased delivery and installation revenue, which increased $2.0 million, or 2.4%. Rental unit sales increased
$5.4 million, or 64.8%, and new unit sales increased $12.9 million, or 170.2%.
Modular revenue drivers for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included:
• Modular space average monthly rental rate increased $85, or 7.8%, year over year to $1,176 representing a continuation of the long-term
price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio.
• Average modular space units on rent decreased 3,268, or 3.3%, year over year.
• Average modular space monthly utilization decreased 230 basis points ("bps") to 62.5%.
• Storage product revenue, which represented 22.2% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $10.1 million,
or 7.0%, to $134.1 million. The decrease was driven by delivery and installation revenue, which decreased $6.6 million, or 22.1%, driven reduced
delivery volumes, as well as a decrease in core leasing revenue of $3.0 million, or 2.8%, driven by reduced portable storage container volumes,
partially offset by increased rates on portable storage containers and increased revenue from acquired climate-controlled containers and
refrigerated storage units. Rental unit sales remained flat at $2.7 million, and new unit sales decreased $0.5 million, or 37.8%. Storage revenue
drivers for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included:
• Portable storage average monthly rental rate increased $40, or 17.9%, year over year to $263 as a result of our price management tools,
processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and
refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023 and 2024.
• Average portable storage units on rent decreased 30,872, or 19.8%, year over year driven by lower demand for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. The lower demand was driven largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to
higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022 and less demand in the retail and wholesale trade customer segment.
• Average portable storage monthly utilization decreased 14.1% to 59.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2023.
26
• Generated a loss from continuing operations of $46.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which included discrete costs in the period of
$165.5 million, including a $132.5 million impairment loss on intangible asset, $22.9 million of legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition
of McGrath, $3.1 million of integration costs, and $6.2 million of lease impairment expense, restructuring, and other related charges primarily related to
employee termination costs as a result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024
was 54.1%.
• Generated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $263.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $2.2
million, or 1%, as compared to the same period in 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations was 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased 130 bps versus prior
year. Leasing margins increased 51 bps versus prior year and delivery and installation margins decreased 291 bps versus prior year.
• Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $26.5 million to $175.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing
activities, excluding cash used for acquisitions, increased by $12.6 million. Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $9.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of increased new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated
storage units. Purchases of property, plant, and equipment increased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Proceeds from the sale of
rental equipment decreased $1.0 million. Net CAPEX increased $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
• Generated Free Cash Flow of $120.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $38.7 million as compared to the same
period in 2023. We deployed this Free Cash Flow to acquire two local providers of storage and modular space solutions with portfolios of approximately
500 storage units and 30 modular units for $29.6 million. We returned $78.7 million to shareholders through stock repurchases, reducing outstanding
Common Stock by 2,035,513 shares.
• We believe the predictability of our Free Cash Flow allows us to pursue multiple capital allocation priorities opportunistically, including investing in organic
opportunities we see in the market, maintaining leverage in our stated range, opportunistically executing accretive acquisitions, and returning capital to
shareholders.
In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit
Margin, Net CAPEX and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in this Form 10-Q
reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations and descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful
information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures are included in "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Liquidity
and Capital Resources".

unit utilization rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 59.2% as compared to 73.3% during the same period in 2023. Modular space average units
on rent decreased 3,268 units, or 3.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was also driven
largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022. The average
modular space unit utilization rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 62.5% as compared to 64.8% during the same period in 2023.
Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 7.8% year over year to $1,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Increases were driven by
a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 17.9% year over
year to $263 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration
opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023 and 2024.
Gross profit: Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 0.2%, to $327.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $327.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was a result of decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $4.4 million and increased depreciation
expense of $11.2 million, and was partially offset by a $9.6 million increase in leasing gross profit and a $5.3 million increase in new and rental unit sales gross
profit. The increase in leasing gross profit was primarily a result of increased revenues due to favorable average monthly rental rates including VAPS across both
portable storage and modular space units, which offset lower unit on rent volumes. Cost of leasing and services decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.3%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 versus the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a decrease in subcontractors costs of $4.8 million, or 7.5%, and a decrease
in materials costs of $2.6 million, or 9.8%. These decreased costs were partially offset by an increase in labor costs of $5.8 million, or 9.0%. Cost of sales increased
by $12.6 million, or 127.6%, which is directionally in line with increased sales revenues of 89.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Our resulting gross profit percentage was 54.1% and 56.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our adjusted gross profit
percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 66.6% and 67.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreases, as
referenced above, were mainly driven by lower utilization rates, specifically on portable storage products.
SG&A: Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $27.8 million, or 18.9%, to $174.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2024, compared to $146.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Discrete expenses for certain one-time projects, primarily legal and professional fees
related to the acquisition of McGrath, increased $21.8 million. Real estate and occupancy costs increased $4.7 million, or 22.8%. Employee SG&A excluding stock
compensation increased $4.9 million, or 7.8%, primarily as a result of increased salaries and wages. Stock based compensation increased $0.3 million, or 2.8%.
These increased costs were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in service agreements and professional fees.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.2 million, or 1%, to $263.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $261.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $9.6 million increase in leasing gross profit and a $5.3 million increase in new and used sales
gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $4.4 million and increased SG&A, excluding discrete costs, of
$4.9 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Other depreciation and amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $0.8 million to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2024 compared to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Impairment loss on intangible asset: Impairment loss on intangible asset was $132.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the
impairment of the Mobile Mini trade name due to our plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name.
Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to employee termination costs as a
result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024.
Currency (gains) losses, net: Currency (gains) losses, net decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2023.
Other expense (income), net: Other expense, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $2.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries received in 2023 related to Hurricane Ian in the
Gulf Coast area of the United States in 2022.
Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $8.3 million, or 17.6%, to $55.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $47.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher overall weighted average interest rates as a result of increased
benchmark rates and higher outstanding debt balances. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.
29
Income tax (benefit) expense: Income tax benefit was $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income tax expense of $31.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $45.5 million. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in income from continuing operations
before income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $9.6 million, or 17.3%, to $65.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 from $55.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of increased refurbishment spending and new fleet
purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Net CAPEX increased $12.1 million, or 28.4%, to $54.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 driven by the increase in capital expenditures for
rental equipment as described above, as well as by a $1.8 million increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment, and a $1.0 million decrease in proceeds
from the sale of rental equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table and discussion summarizes our financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2023.
32
2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreases, as referenced above, were mainly driven by lower utilization rates, specifically on portable storage products.
SG&A: SG&A increased $44.5 million, or 14.9%, to $342.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $297.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2023. Discrete expenses for certain one-time projects, primarily legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of McGrath, increased $34.7
million. Real estate and occupancy costs increased $8.5 million, or 20.6%, and employee SG&A excluding stock compensation increased $6.7 million, or 5.1%,
primarily as a result of increased salaries and wages. Stock compensation expense increased $1.2 million to $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024,
compared to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were partially offset by a $3.3 million, or 23.3%, decrease in travel costs and a
$2.7 million, or 28.1%, decrease in our provision for credit losses.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.4 million, or 1%, to $511.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $508.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $25.4 million increase in leasing gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by decreased
delivery and installation gross profit of $13.5 million and increased SG&A, excluding discrete costs, of $8.8 million, or 3.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Other depreciation and amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $1.5 million to $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024
compared to $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Impairment loss on intangible asset: Impairment loss on intangible asset was $132.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the
impairment of the Mobile Mini trade name based on the Company's plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini
trade name.
Lease impairment expense and other related charges: Lease impairment expense and other related charges increased to $0.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2024. These charges were related to the exit of an office property.
Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to employee termination costs as a
result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024.
Currency losses, net: Currency losses, net decreased by $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily attributable to a
$7.7 million loss in 2023 on the settlement of the contingent foreign currency forward contract relating to the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment in
January 2023.
Other expense (income), net: Other expense, net was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $6.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries received in 2023 related to Hurricane Ian in the Gulf Coast
area of the United States in 2022.
Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $20.0 million to $112.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $92.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher overall weighted average interest rates as a result of increased benchmark
rates and higher outstanding debt balances. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.
Income tax expense: Income tax expense decreased $58.9 million to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $62.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in expense was driven by a decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax for the six months
ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Income from discontinued operations: Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was related to the former UK
Storage Solutions segment, which was sold January 2023.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $34.9 million, or 34.0%, to $137.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2024 from $102.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of increased refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases,
including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Net CAPEX increased $31.1 million, or 35.2%, to $119.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $88.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 driven by the increase in capital expenditures for rental equipment
as described above. This increase was partially offset by a $5.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment for the six months ended June 30,
2024.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Set forth below are
definitions and reconciliations to the nearest comparable GAAP measure of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q along
with descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures. Each of
these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, results
reported under GAAP. Our measurements of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted
EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions
or events not related to our core business operations:
• Currency (gains) losses, net on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.
• Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet
and property, plant and equipment.
• Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations
and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.
• Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
• Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease
branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
• Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
• Other expenses, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, and gains
and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business 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 performance excluding such items is meaningful
because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company and captures the business performance inclusive of indirect
costs.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash
flow from operations or other methods of analyzing WillScot’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our
indebtedness;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future
operations;
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the
future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
• Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a
measure of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Net CAPEX
We define Net CAPEX as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Capital
Expenditures"), less proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Proceeds"), which
are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information regarding the net
capital invested in our rental fleet and property, plant and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. As presented below, Net
CAPEX includes amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

Our revolving credit facility provides an 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”) and (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”). Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of
$3.7 billion and the applicable borrowing bases. The borrowing bases are a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool, of
which our rental equipment represents the largest component. At June 30, 2024, we had $1.8 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.
Cash Flow Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
The consolidated statements of cash flows include amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023. See Note 3 to the

Free Cash Flow $ 120,878 $ 159,601 $ 264,778 $ 262,541
Free Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $264.8 million as compared to $262.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an
increase of $2.2 million. Free Cash Flow increased principally as a result of the $33.4 million increase in cash provided by operating activities and the $5.4 million
increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment. The increase was partially offset by the $34.9 million increase in cash used in the purchase of rental
equipment and refurbishments.
The $384.3 million in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was returned to shareholders through repurchases and
cancellations of common stock of $78.7 million and reinvested into the business to support the purchase of rental equipment, including VAPS, and refurbishments,
acquire three local storage and modular companies for $70.6 million, and fund repayment of borrowings under our ABL Facility.
Material cash requirements
The Company’s material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:
Debt
The Company has outstanding debt related to its ABL Facility, 2025 Secured Notes, 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 Secured Notes, 2031 Secured Notes, and
finance leases totaling $3.5 billion as of June 30, 2024, $545.1 million of which is obligated to be repaid within the next twelve months. We have the intent and
believe was have the ability to refinance the $526.5 million carrying value of the 2025 Secured Notes on a long-term basis as demonstrated by the forecasted
available capacity under the ABL Facility if other refinancing efforts are unsuccessful or uneconomical. Refer to Note 9 for further information regarding outstanding
debt.
Operating leases
The Company has commitments for future minimum rental payments relating to operating leases, which are primarily for real estate. As of June 30, 2024,
the Company had lease obligations of $297.4 million, with $69.5 million payable within the next twelve months.
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 and
McGrath's shareholders. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory
approval, 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
June 13, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on June 28, 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 and (ii) an upsize to the existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) of Williams Scotsman, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("WSI"), 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.
Other
In addition to the cash requirements described above, the Company has a share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, which allows
the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of outstanding shares of Common Stock. This program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific
amount of shares. As of June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the approved share repurchase amount remained available.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances and reevaluate our estimates and judgments as appropriate. The actual results
experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. For a complete discussion of our significant critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical
Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report on Form 10-
K").
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
