Company Overview 3


 
Nesco Overview ▪ Premier Industrial Growth Business. Nesco is a leading provider of specialty rental equipment to support critical maintenance, repair, upgrade and installation services for electric transmission and distribution, communications and rail infrastructure in North America. ▪ Compelling End-Market Opportunity. The growing demand for Nesco’s specialty rental equipment is a direct result of attractive secular drivers in each of its three end-markets: (a) investments by electric utilities to replace an aging grid, integrate growing renewable and gas generation and strengthen grid reliability; (b) increased telecom infrastructure spending driven by 5G rollout (small cells); and (c) capex to support growing freight and intermodal volume together with commuter rail projects. ▪ Diversified, Long-Tenured and Blue-Chip Customer Base. Breadth of equipment and geographic reach allow Nesco to uniquely meet the demands of its long-standing customers (16-year average for top 10), which provides for significant recurring business (~95% of revenue to recurring customers) due to customers’ focus on long-term projects that often take years to complete. ▪ Significant Embedded Investment in Specialized and Young Fleet. As of September 30, 2019, Nesco has a young, specialized fleet of ~4,300 rental units with an Original Equipment Cost, or OEC, of $579 million and an average unit age of only 3.6 years vs. its expected useful life of up to 25 years. ▪ Strong Financial Performance and Attractive Unit Economics. Adj. EBITDA (1) has grown at a 24% CAGR from 2016 to 2018, from $79 million to $122 million. Proven ability to add new equipment with high financial returns – unlevered IRRs of approximately 30%. ▪ Meaningful, Highly Visible Organic Growth Opportunities. Nesco has foregone an increasing number of business opportunities (>4,000 from 2017 to 2018 and another 1,500+ YTD) due to lack of product availability. With a strengthened capital structure, Nesco plans to grow its fleet to capture this existing demand. Additional revenue growth is expected from increased customer penetration in parts, tools and accessories enabled by the recent acquisitions of N&L and Bethea. ▪ Accretive M&A in Fragmented Industry. Seven accretive tuck-in acquisitions since 2012 have broadened Nesco’s end-markets and product offerings. Six acquisitions prior to Truck Utilities have a weighted average EBITDA(1) multiple of 5.7x, or 4.0x after realized synergies. Nesco has an actionable pipeline of additional opportunities available at accretive multiples.

Electric Utilities: Early Years of Multi-Year Upcycle Transmission and distribution industry, with an annual spend of over $60 billion, is in the early years of a decade long secular upcycle driven by utilities’ investments (1) to replace and strengthen an aging grid; (2) to integrate growing renewable and gas generation; and (3) to support the electrification of fossil fuel driven sectors ▪ An estimated 40% - 50% of existing transmission and distribution infrastructure is at or beyond engineered lives ▪ Migration to renewables and gas requires extension of the power grid in addition to storm hardening maintenance initiatives ▪ Decarbonization is driving the electrification of vehicles, heating technology and industrial processes which will significantly expand electricity demand and require a transmission investment of up to $90 billion by 2030 U.S. & Canada Electric Transmission Projects Customer Backlogs Signal Continued Growth ($ in billions) (Backlog – $ in millions) $8,545 $40.1 $610 $31.9 $12.3 $7,359 $26.3 $27.2 $24.6 $9.3 $354 $11.1 $10.2 $12.6 $27.8 $22.6 $17.1 $12.0 $15.2 2012A 2014A 2016A 2018A 2020E Quanta Mastec Electrical Power & Infrastructure Electrical Transmission Small & Medium-Projects Large-Scale Projects 2017A 2018A Source: Company filings, The Brattle Group and Wall Street research. 15

End-Market Shift to Rental Supports Growth Nesco’s growth is supported by the ongoing secular shift from equipment ownership to rentals among its customers ▪ Key drivers fueling Nesco’s end-markets to continue to shift to rental: 1. Avoidance of capital outlay 2. Improved asset utilization with significantly reduced storage and maintenance costs 3. Better risk management with dedicated customer care 4. Operational efficiencies drive improved productivity 5. Wider range of modern productive equipment in rental fleets 6. Health & safety regulations have increased implicit cost of ownership & maintenance ▪ Overall U.S. equipment rental market penetration is approximately 53% and is expected to grow to 65% over the next 10 years – Management expects Nesco’s product categories to grow more rapidly than overall market given current estimated penetration levels of only 20 to 25% Rental Penetration Continues to Increase (Rental Penetration of Equipment Fleet) United States Other Developed Markets Source: ARA / IHS Global Insight and Wall Street research. 18

1 Invest in Fleet to Meet Growing Excess Demand Nesco continues to turn down a significant number of customer requests to rent its equipment simply due to a lack of equipment availability ▪ Demand environment is strong – Nesco turned away more than 4,000 rental opportunities from 2017 to 2018 due to product availability and more than 1,500 YTD through September – Opportunities turned away due to product availability declined 188 year over year while Nesco’s average fleet count increased by 332, from 3,889 to 4,221, signaling continued strength in customer demand – Nesco expects to continue grow its fleet over the next several years to capture a portion of this excess demand – Growth capex will be allocated to product lines with the greatest excess demand, highest utilization and shortest payback periods Excess Demand Is Growing (Opportunities Turned Away Due to Lack of Equipment(1)) 2,284 1,938 1,695 1,507 810 657 2015A 2016A 2017A 2018A YTD YTD September September 2018 2019 Note: 1. Measured by individual pieces of equipment or units. 21


 
2 Increase Customer Penetration in Parts, Tools and Accessories Meaningful opportunity to geographically expand Nesco’s cross-selling and rental of parts, tools and accessories to large utility, telecom and rail customer bases ▪ Nesco established the parts, tools and accessories division in 2015 – Acquisition of N&L (2018) added certified expertise in regulation-mandated dielectric testing and manufacturing of certified live-line tools – Acquisition of Bethea (2017) added manufacturing of blocks, the leading parts rental product ▪ Nesco intends to expand from two locations to six by 2020, providing customers a one-stop shop for test & repair services and a broad inventory of insulated and non-insulated tools Parts, Tools and Accessories Cross-Sell Opportunity (Parts, tools and accessories revenue as a % of equipment rental revenue) 2018 17% Penetration of Equipment Rental Revenue Revenue $29m Locations 2 22


 
3 Pipeline of Actionable Future M&A Fragmented market with many regional and local players allows Nesco to leverage its national platform and act as a preferred consolidator ▪ Nesco has made six successful acquisitions since 2012, realizing 100%+ of expected synergies for every target – The weighted average purchase EBITDA multiple of all six acquisitions is 5.7x, or 4.0x including realized synergies ▪ On November 5th, 2019, Nesco announced the closing of the strategic, tuck-in acquisition of Truck Utilities for $42.2 million – For the last twelve months ended September 30, 2019, Truck Utilities generated Adj.
