WillScot Holdings Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
WillScot Holdings Corporation (“WillScot” 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.
On July 29, 2024, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to effect a change of the Company’s name from “WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp.” to “WillScot Holdings Corporation."
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 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 date 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.
9


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
Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 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, and one national provider of premium large clearspan structures for $84.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of the acquisition dates, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $80.7 million.
Integration Costs
The Company recorded $1.5 million and $0.8 million in integration costs related to acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $7.4 million and $6.9 million in integration costs related to acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") .
Termination of 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"). On September 17, 2024, the Company and McGrath mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid McGrath a $180.0 million termination fee during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $8.8 million and $41.3 million, respectively, in legal and professional fees related to the McGrath transaction within SG&A.
In connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of McGrath, 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 committed to make available, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, (i) a senior secured bridge credit facility and (ii) an upsize to the existing ABL Facility (as defined below) of Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("WSI") As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Commitment Letter was terminated.

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.

Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue (74% and 75% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 76% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.
12


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.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $136.9 million and $124.1 million, respectively, of deferred revenue related to services billed in advance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $13.3 million and $61.0 million, respectively, 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 Company 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 for 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.

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. The most significant unobservable input (Level 3) used to estimate the fair value was a discount rate of 9%. After determining the estimated fair value, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $132.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This non-cash charge was recorded to impairment loss on intangible asset on the consolidated statement of operations. After the impairment charge, the remaining net book value of the Mobile Mini trade name was $31.5 million, which is being amortized over a remaining useful life. The Company did not record any other impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

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 September 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.40%. 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 proposed 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; 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 proposed McGrath acquisition. Following the termination of the Merger Agreement on September 17, 2024, the Sixth Amendment was null and void.
Borrowing availability under the US Facility and the Multicurrency Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolver commitments and (ii) the borrowing base ("Line Cap"). At September 30, 2024, the Line Cap was $3.2 billion and the Company had $1.7 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $1.5 billion under the US Facility and $199.2 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 September 30, 2024, the available capacity was $199.2 million of letters of credit and $203.8 million of swingline loans. At September 30, 2024, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625%. The Company had issued $20.8 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2024.
The Company had approximately $1.5 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2024. Debt issuance costs of $21.0 million and $26.8 million were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities at September 30, 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.

Senior Secured Notes
The 2025 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2025. At September 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, among other refinancing alternatives to be considered opportunistically.
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 $6.7 million as of September 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations under finance leases were $134.2 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 September 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 704,809 shares of Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 3,623,298 shares of Common Stock for $140.4 million, excluding excise tax. As of September 30, 2024, $951.9 million of the authorization for future repurchases of Common Stock remained available.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, gains of $5.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, gains of $16.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 12. Associated with these reclassifications, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and tax expense of $4.5 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded $20.6 million and $17.4 million of income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $32.8 million and $94.9 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 22.6% and 22.2%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 26.4% and 27.1%, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes, partially offset by discrete excess tax benefits related to equity compensation. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and an add-back for non-deductible executive compensation.

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 4.86% at September 30, 2024.
The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:

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 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 September 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 using Level 2 inputs:

As of September 30, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $1.9 million, $4.7 million, $6.7 million, and $5.8 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'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.
