“As we expected, demand remained strong across our primary end markets, which allowed us to deliver another quarter of excellent financial results and strong year-over-year growth in all three of our business segments. Our TES segment realized 34% revenue growth compared to the third quarter of last year. Our ERS segment realized 12% revenue growth, and while we experienced some short-term slowdown in the utility end market, our team effectively managed through it. Our rental fleet ended the quarter with utilization of approximately 80%,” said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. “A third consecutive quarter of record setting vehicle production by our team allowed us to both add to our fleet and post strong year-over-year growth in new vehicle sales. This level of production, together with the demand environment and continued improvement in the supply chain give us the confidence to improve our revenue outlook for 2023. In addition, our purchase of $15.8 million of our stock in the quarter reflects our confidence in the improved outlook, as well as the value that we feel we will create for shareholders from continuing to execute on our growth strategy,” McMonagle added.

(a)		Ending OEC — original equipment cost (“OEC”) is the original equipment cost of units at the end of the measurement period.
(b)		Average OEC on rent — Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent during the stated period.
(c)		Fleet utilization — total number of days the rental equipment was rented during a specified period of time divided by the total number of days available during the same period and weighted based on OEC.
(d)		OEC on rent yield (“ORY”) — a measure of return realized by our rental fleet during a 12-month period. ORY is calculated as rental revenue (excluding freight recovery and ancillary fees) during the stated period divided by the Average OEC on rent for the same period. For periods of less than 12 months, the ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
(e)		Sales order backlog — purchase orders received for customized and stock equipment. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.

Management Commentary
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was characterized by continued strong customer demand for both rental and new equipment across our end markets. Third quarter 2023 rental revenue increased 2.8% to $118.2 million, compared to $115.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting the continued expansion of our rental fleet, stable utilization, and pricing gains. Equipment sales increased 34.2% in the third quarter of 2023 to $283.1 million, compared to $210.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting record levels of production, continuing improvements in the supply chain, and our ability to replenish inventory. Parts sales and service revenue increased 3.8% to $33.1 million, compared to $31.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. On a sequential quarter basis, total third quarter revenue for 2023 decreased $22.5 million, or 4.9%, primarily due to the timing of new sales and a decline in average OEC on rent.

In our ERS segment, rental revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $114.9 million compared to $112.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 2.6% increase. Fleet utilization continued to be strong at 78.9% compared to 83.8% in the third quarter of 2022, and we ended the quarter at 80.5%. Average OEC on rent decreased 2.3% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the lower utilization in the quarter. Total segment gross profit in the third quarter of 2023 was $58.0 million, an increase of 9.2% compared to $53.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Gross Profit in the segment was $99.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $94.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, representing 5.0% year-over-year growth. Rental Gross Profit improved to $85.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $84.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 0.6% increase. On a sequential quarter basis, total segment third quarter of 2023 revenue decreased $1.4 million, or 0.8%, driven by a 2.5% decrease in rental equipment sales compared to the second quarter. Despite the decline, we experienced favorable pricing, with OEC on rent yield increasing to a record 40.8% in the third quarter of 2023, up from 40.1% in the second quarter of 2023.

Revenue in our TES segment increased 32.9% to $230.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, from $173.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of continued supply chain improvements, which allowed us to acquire more inventory, record production levels that led to greater order fulfillments and sustained strong customer demand. Gross profit improved by 46.3% to $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin for the quarter was 17.2%, up from 15.7% in the third quarter of 2022. On a sequential quarter basis, total revenue in the third quarter of 2023 decreased $20.5 million, or 8.2%.

APS segment revenue increased 4.2% in the third quarter of 2023 to $36.3 million, compared to $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. Growth in demand for parts, tools and accessories sales was augmented by increased tools and accessories rentals in the Parts, Tools and Accessories (“PTA”) division. Gross profit margin increased to 25.7% in the third quarter of 2023 from 22.5% in the third quarter of 2022. On a sequential quarter basis, total segment gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2023 decreased 160 bps from 27.3%.

Net income was $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net loss of $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The $11.6 million increase in net income is primarily the result of gross profit expansion, partially offset by higher interest costs. On a sequential quarter basis, total third quarter of 2023 net income declined $2.4 million primarily due to lower gross profit and higher interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $100.2 million, an increase of 9.3%, compared to $91.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by growth in rental revenue and new and used equipment sales, all of which contributed to margin expansion. On a sequential quarter basis, Adjusted EBITDA declined by $3.0 million.

As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents was $8.8 million, Total Debt outstanding was $1,451.2 million, Net Debt was $1,442.4 million and Net Leverage Ratio was 3.3x. Availability under the senior secured credit facility was $254.5 million as of September 30, 2023, and based on our borrowing base calculation, we have an additional $287.4 million of availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Ending OEC increased by $37.2 million as our fleet additions were only partially offset by our continued focus on selling older equipment from our rental fleet at current advantageous residual values. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, CTOS purchased $15.8 million of its common stock.

OUTLOOK
We are updating our full-year revenue guidance for 2023 at this time, as well as affirming our full-year 2023 EBITDA guidance. We believe our ERS segment will continue to benefit from strong demand from our rental customers, sustained levels of average OEC on rent and for resilient demand for purchases of rental fleet units, particularly older equipment for the remainder of the year. While we continue to expect to make gross investments in our rental fleet of more than $400 million this year, higher-than-anticipated levels of rental asset sales year-to-date likely will result in the net growth in our rental fleet (based on Ending OEC) being more modest than expected earlier this year. Regarding our TES segment, supply chain improvements, improved inventory levels, record production and strong backlog levels continue to enhance our ability to produce and deliver an even greater number of units in 2023 than we did previously. Commenting on the improvement outlook, McMonagle added, “Overall, we expect a seasonally strong fourth quarter and hope that the performance will exceed that of the fourth quarter of 2022, which benefited from the highest level of utilization in the Company’s history, as well as noted supply chain improvements, which allowed for record levels of new equipment sales. Despite the confidence implied by our improved outlook, given the level of share repurchase activity this year, as well as the continued investment in working capital to meet expected revenue growth, our ability to achieve our 3.0x leverage target by year end will be delayed until later in 2024.”

CTOS is not able to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2023 to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, because management cannot reliably present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2023 to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, because management cannot reliably forecast net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP net income including, but not limited to, customer buyout requests on rentals with rental purchase options, income tax expense and changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and some of these measures are commonly used in our industry to evaluate performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors expanded insight to assess performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. The press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described herein, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income/loss, net income/loss, earnings/loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that we use to monitor our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of operating performance, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. We exclude the items identified in the reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, including the method by which the assets were acquired, and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other items that we do not view as indicative of ongoing performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of inventory and used rental equipment sold. When inventory or rental equipment is purchased in connection with a business combination, the assets are revalued to their current fair values for accounting purposes. The consideration transferred (i.e., the purchase price) in a business combination is allocated to the fair values of the assets as of the acquisition date, with amortization or depreciation recorded thereafter following applicable accounting policies; however, this may not be indicative of the actual cost to acquire inventory or new equipment that is added to product inventory or the rental fleets apart from a business acquisition. We also includes an adjustment to remove the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts that are accounted for under GAAP as a sales-type lease, however, in actuality, the rental contract remains in place and we continue to invoice the rentals to the customers. Sales-type lease accounting results in an accelerated revenue recognition profile compared to the period of service (that is, time of use by the rental customer) that is provided evenly over the duration of our time-based rental contracts, and compared to the cash payment profile, which is typically received evenly over the duration of our rental contracts. We include this adjustment because we believe continuing to reflect the transactions as an operating lease more closely measures the period of service provided and rental payments received better reflects the economics of the transactions given our large portfolio of rental contracts. These, and other, adjustments to GAAP net income or loss that are applied to derive Adjusted EBITDA conform to the definitions in our senior secured credit agreements.

Adjusted Gross Profit. We present total gross profit excluding rental equipment depreciation (“Adjusted Gross Profit”) as a non-GAAP financial performance measure. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit, as we do not include the impact of depreciation expense, which represents non-cash expense. We use these measures to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of the cost of our rental fleet.

Net Debt. We present the non-GAAP financial measure “Net Debt,” which is total debt (the most comparable GAAP measure, calculated as current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing fees, plus current and long-term finance lease obligations) minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate our financial position.

Net Leverage Ratio. Net Leverage Ratio is a non-GAAP financial performance measure used by management and we believe it provides useful information to investors because it is an important measure that reflects our ability to service debt. We define net leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for non-cash purchase accounting impact, transaction and process improvement costs, including business integration expenses, share-based payments, the change in fair value of derivative instruments, sales-type lease adjustment, and other special charges that are not expected to recur. 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 and inventory sold. The equipment and inventory acquired received a purchase accounting step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost pursuant to our credit agreement.
(2)		Represents transaction and process improvement costs related to acquisitions of businesses, including post-acquisition integration costs, which are recognized within operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. These expenses are comprised of professional consultancy, legal, tax and accounting fees. Also included are expenses associated with the integration of acquired businesses. These expenses are presented as adjustments to net income pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement.
(3)		Represents the adjustment for the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or “RPOs”), as the application of sales-type lease accounting is not deemed to be representative of the ongoing cash flows of the underlying rental contracts. This adjustment is made pursuant to our credit agreement.
