•Total revenue increased 9.0% to $68.5 million

•Equipment Rental and Sales (ERS) segment revenue decreased 0.5% to $53.4 million

FORT WAYNE, IN., August 6, 2020 – Nesco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NSCO, “Nesco” or the “Company”), a leading provider of specialty rental equipment to the electric utility, telecom and rail infrastructure end-markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Total revenue in the second quarter was $68.5 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 9.0% from the second quarter 2019, which was negatively impacted due to pandemic-related project delays, but more than offset by the acquisition of Truck Utilities.

Adjusted EBITDA was $26.2 million, a decrease of 14.1% from $30.5 million in the second quarter 2019. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to a combination of lower utilization and higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to becoming a public company. The decline was partially offset by higher equipment sales and the acquisition of Truck Utilities. Nesco’s core rental gross profit, excluding depreciation, declined 7.4% to $32.7 million.

The Company reported a net loss of $13.2 million, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million for the same period in 2019. Additional depreciation of $2.8 million, incremental interest expense of $1.1 million and a $0.8 million charge related to the change in fair value of an interest rate collar contributed to a year-over-year increase in net loss, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in income tax benefits due to a recovery of taxes paid in prior years as part of the CARES Act.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Our second quarter results reflect the resiliency and sustainability of both our critical infrastructure markets and our business model,” said Lee Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer of Nesco. “Given the unprecedented economic environment, we are encouraged with our second quarter results and exceptionally proud of our dedicated team members for their tireless efforts. We continue to prioritize our team’s health and safety while delivering for our customers during this challenging period and have streamlined our business operations and reduced overhead as a result of the temporary slowdown in activity. We are focused on driving free cash flow to ensure ample liquidity to navigate through the pandemic.”

“We remain disciplined in our working capital management and curtailed capital expenditures in the latter part of the second quarter, which helped drive $14.4 million of free cash flow in the second quarter,” said Josh Boone, Chief Financial Officer of Nesco. “Our flexible business model, combined with the investments made in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 to expand our fleet, position us to capitalize on a typically stronger back half of the year, which we expect to be bolstered by projects that were temporarily put on hold due to the pandemic. Additionally, we have over $80 million of available liquidity with no near-term debt maturities and expect to generate free cash flow for the remainder of 2020. We are in a comfortable financial position that provides flexibility to support continued growth in the business and reduce leverage. We remain committed to a long-term leverage target of 3.0x-3.5x.”

SECOND QUARTER REVENUE BY SEGMENT

All metrics compared to Second Quarter 2019 unless otherwise noted

Equipment Rental and Sales Segment (78.0% of revenue)

•Revenue decreased 0.5% to $53.4 million, compared to $53.7 million

•Equipment rental revenue decreased 4.1% to $43.0 million, compared to $44.9 million

◦Average equipment on rent decreased 0.8% to $461.1 million. The Company invested in fleet growth in 2019 and in the first half of 2020 but reduced utilization resulting from COVID-19 related project delays resulted in relatively flat equipment on rent year over year

◦Fleet utilization declined 8.9% to 71.3% due to project delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic

◦Rental rate per day held steady at $136.7

•Equipment sales revenue increased 18.0% to $10.4 million, elevated in part due to new dealer inventory investments in 2019

Parts, Tools and Accessories Segment (22.0% of revenue)

•Revenue increased 64.1% to $15.1 million, compared to $9.2 million

•Parts rental revenue increased 21.5% to $4.0 million primarily due to an expanded footprint of PTA locations

•Parts sales revenue increased 87.5% to $11.1 million primarily due to the acquisition of Truck Utilities

COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE

Nesco implemented several initiatives during the second quarter and beginning of the third quarter to reduce costs in the face of the pandemic, including a reduction in capital expenditures relative to pre-COVID planned spend, improvements in working capital, a freeze on all non-essential hiring, a headcount reduction and cuts to travel and other non-essential expenses. The Company expects to realize $2.5 million of annualized benefits from the headcount-related portion of cost cuts alone.

Nesco has taken steps to ensure the health and safety of its team members, while keeping all business and service locations operational throughout the pandemic with little to no disruptions. Nesco continues to fully support its customers’ needs to help them provide critical infrastructure maintenance and construction services and to-date has not experienced any meaningful interruptions to its supply chain.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

The Company had cash of $5.3 million and availability of $78.3 million on its asset-based lending facility, resulting in total liquidity of $83.6 million as of June 30, 2020. Net debt outstanding, including capital leases, was $765.9 million at the end of the second quarter 2020. The Company has no near-term debt maturities, with the $385.0 million credit facility and $475.0 million senior secured notes both maturing in 2024.

Nesco reported cash flow from operating activities of $22.5 million, an increase of $21.2 million compared to second quarter in 2019. Net cash outflow from investing activities of $8.0 million declined from $28.8 million for the same period in 2019 as Nesco curtailed capital expenditures. Free cash flow increased to $14.4 million from negative free cash flow of $27.6 million in the second quarter 2019.

Average fleet count increased 12.9% to 4,615 units, compared to 4,086 units a year ago. Total net capital expenditures in the second quarter were $8.1 million. Gross capital expenditures, which include purchases of rental fleet and property and equipment, were $19.0 million. The Company received $10.9 million from sale of rental equipment and parts as well as insurance proceeds from damaged equipment. Year to date, Nesco has invested $35.3 million in net capital expenditures.

2020 OUTLOOK

As previously stated in first quarter financial results, the Company has withdrawn its previous full year 2020 guidance as a result of the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to assess the evolving situation and will update its revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook when there is greater visibility and economic conditions become reasonably predictable.

The Company is reintroducing its outlook for net capital expenditures to between $35 to $40 million for the full year 2020⁽¹⁾.

“As we look to the third quarter and the remainder of the year, we remain laser focused on driving short-term execution and disciplined capital spending while remaining committed to our long-term goals of continued growth, free cash flow generation, leverage reduction and driving shareholder value,” Mr. Jacobson said.

(1) Net capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the historical non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, fleet utilization, original equipment cost on rent, net capital expenditures, among other metrics, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The Company utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in the specialty rentals industry to evaluate performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures along with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are included in the supplemental financial schedules.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and further adjusted for (1) non-cash purchase accounting impact, (2) transaction and process improvement costs, including the effect of the cessation of operations in Mexico, (3) major repairs, (4) share-based payments, (5) other non-recurring items, if any, and (6) the change in fair value of derivative instruments. This non-GAAP measure is subject to certain limitations.

(1) Represents the non-cash impact of purchase accounting, net of accumulated depreciation, on the cost of equipment sold. The equipment acquired received a purchase step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost pursuant to our credit agreement.

(2) 2020: Represents transaction costs related to our acquisition of Truck Utilities (which include post-acquisition integration expenses incurred during the current quarterly period); 2019: Represents transaction expenses related to merger activities associated with the transaction with Capitol that was consummated on July 31, 2019. These expenses are comprised of professional consultancy, legal, tax and accounting fees. Also included are costs of startup activities (which include training, travel, and process setup costs) associated with the rollout of new PTA locations that occurred throughout the prior year into the current periods. Finally, the expenses associated with the Company's closure of its Mexican operations, which closure activities commenced in the third quarter of 2019, are also included for the 2020 periods presented. Pursuant to our credit agreement, the cost of undertakings to effect such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other synergies, as well as any expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, are amounts to be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Represents the undepreciated cost of replaced vehicle chassis and components from heavy maintenance, repair and overhaul activities associated with our fleet, which is an adjustment pursuant to our credit agreement.

(4) Represents non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL METRICS

Average equipment on rent is the average original equipment cost of units on rent during the period. The measure provides a value dimension to the fleet utilization statistics.

Average fleet count is the average number of units in the fleet during the period.

Average fleet utilization for the period is calculated as the total number of invoiced days divided by the total number of available equipment days.

Average rental rate per day for the period is calculated as total rental revenue excluding freight and damaged billings divided by the total rental days, which represents the number of billable days in the period aggregated across all units in the fleet.

These metrics have been adjusted to exclude Mexico, for which the Company commenced exit activities in the third quarter of 2019.
