Custom Truck One Source, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Business and Organization
Organization
Custom Truck One Source, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) are engaged in the business of providing a range of products and services to customers through rentals and sales of specialty equipment, rentals and sales of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.
We are a specialty equipment provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail and other infrastructure-related industries in North America. Our core business relates to our new equipment inventory and rental fleet of specialty equipment that is utilized by service providers in infrastructure development and improvement work. We offer our specialized equipment to a diverse customer base, including utilities and contractors, for the maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation of critical infrastructure assets, including distribution and transmission electric lines, telecommunications networks and rail systems, as well as for lighting and signage. We rent, produce, sell and service a broad range of new and used equipment, including bucket trucks, digger derricks, dump trucks, cranes, service trucks, and heavy-haul trailers. We manage the business in three reporting segments: Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”), Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) and Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”).
Supply Chain
The Company purchases raw materials, component parts and finished goods to be used in the manufacturing, sale and rental of its products. Uncertainty remains regarding supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, public health crises, and geopolitical risks that have led to issues, broadly, in the supply chain. Changes in the Company’s relationships with suppliers, shortages in availability of materials, production delays, regulatory restrictions, public health crises, or other supply chain disruptions, whether due to suppliers or customers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to timely manufacture and market products. Increases in the costs of shipping and transportation, purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies or the Company’s inability to market products. The unprecedented nature of the supply chain disruptions continues to make it difficult to predict the Company’s future business and financial performance. The Company continues to monitor the impact on its supply chain, including, but not limited to, the commercial vehicle manufacturers that provide the chassis used in the Company’s production and manufacturing processes and the ongoing semiconductor shortage, which could potentially limit the ability of these manufacturers to meet demand in future periods.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and most of the disclosures in these Notes be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the current interim period ended or comparable prior period.
The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Custom Truck One Source, Inc. at that date. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements, have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other periods. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Custom Truck One Source, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements included in the Custom Truck One Source, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This ASU improves the comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination and requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amended guidance specifies for all acquired revenue contracts regardless of their timing of payment (1) the circumstances in which the acquirer should recognize contract assets and contract liabilities that are acquired in a business combination and (2) how to measure those contract assets and contract liabilities, thereby providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. The ASU was effective as of January 1, 2023. The Company applies the guidance in ASU 2021-08 prospectively to any future business combinations occurring on or after the effective date.
Financing Receivables. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2022-02”), which requires an entity to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases. Gross write-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit-quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The adoption on January 1, 2023 of the ASU had no impact to the Company’s disclosures.
Note 2: Acquisition
Acquisition of HiRail
On January 14, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company, CTOS Canada, Ltd., closed a Share Purchase Agreement with certain affiliates of Ontario Limited (d/b/a HiRail Leasing), Ontario Inc. (d/b/a Heavy Equipment Repairs), and Ontario Limited (d/b/a Northshore Rail Contracting) (collectively “HiRail”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests of HiRail. The acquisition of HiRail expands our presence in our strategic markets and deepens our relationships with key customers. HiRail, including the assignment of purchase accounting goodwill (see below), is included in the Company’s ERS segment.
Purchase Price
The Company paid $51.0 million, net of working capital adjustments, to HiRail equity interest holders and to repay debt obligations as consideration for the HiRail acquisition.
Opening Balance Sheet
The acquisition of HiRail has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company was required to assign the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of January 14, 2022. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill and was attributable to expanded access to markets for the Company’s product and service offering, synergies, and broader product offerings to existing customers of HiRail. The total purchase price has been assigned to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values as of January 14, 2022, and the estimated fair values have been recorded based on independent valuations, discounted cash flow analysis, quoted market prices, contributory asset charges, and estimates made by management, which estimates fall under “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the January 14, 2022 fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final assessment of the fair value of the HiRail assets acquired and liabilities assumed was complete as of December 31, 2022.

Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers. Equipment sales recognized pursuant to sales-type leases are recorded within equipment sales revenue. Charges to customers for damaged rental equipment are recorded within parts and services revenue.
Receivables, Contract Assets and Liabilities
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had net receivables related to contracts with customers of $60.5 million and $98.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had net receivables related to rental contracts and other of $91.5 million and $95.1 million, respectively.
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 Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues.
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 based upon a review of outstanding receivables, the related aging, including specific accounts if deemed necessary, and on the Company’s historical collection experience. 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, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers, and, as a result, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.
Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following:

When customers are billed for rentals in advance of the rental period, the Company defers recognition of revenue. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of deferred rental revenue. Additionally, the Company collects deposits from customers for orders placed for equipment and rentals. The Company had approximately $27.5 million and $29.6 million in deposits as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Of the $29.6 million deposit liability balance as of December 31, 2022, $27.3 million was recorded as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to performance obligations being satisfied. The Company’s remaining performance obligations on its equipment deposit liabilities have original expected durations of one year or less.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and as such did not recognize any material impairments of any contract assets.
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 related to the sale and rental of new and used units. For new unit 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.
Note 4: Sales-Type Leases
Revenue from sales-type leases was as follows:

Interest income from financing receivables was $4.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $7.8 million and $5.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 5: Inventory
Whole goods inventory is comprised of chassis, attachments (i.e., boom cranes, serial lifts, digger derricks, dump bodies, etc.) and the in-process costs incurred in the final assembly of those units. As part of the business model, the Company sells unassembled individual whole goods and whole goods with varying levels of customization direct to consumers or dealers. Whole goods inventory also includes new equipment purchased specifically for resale to customers. Inventory consisted of the following:

Note 6: Floor Plan Financing
Floor plan payables represent financing arrangements to facilitate the Company’s purchase of new and used trucks, cranes, and construction equipment inventory. All floor plan payables are collateralized by the inventory financed. These payables become due and payable upon the sale, transfer, or reclassification of each unit of inventory. Certain floor plan arrangements require the Company to satisfy various financial ratios consistent with those under the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The amounts owed under floor plan payables are summarized as follows:

Borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum and are required to be repaid monthly in an amount of approximately $0.1 million with a balloon payment due on the maturity date of January 13, 2028. Borrowings are secured by the real property and improvements.
Note 9: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock, if dilutive. Our potentially dilutive shares aggregated 29.4 million and 29.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 23.5 million and 23.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and included warrants, contingently issuable shares, and share-based compensation, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements
The FASB accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs.
15
The following table sets forth the carrying values (exclusive of deferred financing fees) and fair values of our financial liabilities:
Carrying Value | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Warrant liabilities | 3,012 | — | — | 3,012 |
The carrying amounts of the ABL Facility, the 2023 Credit Facility and other notes payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from brokers. The Level 3 fair value presented above consists of the fair value of the Non-Public Warrants. The Company estimated the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the market value of the underlying Common Stock, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends, and expected volatility of the price of the underlying Common Stock. The changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities are recorded in Financing and other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and cash flow from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Note 12: Income Taxes
For interim periods, we estimate our annual effective tax rate, exclusive of discrete items, which is derived primarily by our estimate of our valuation allowance as of the end of our fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the recording of valuation allowances. We recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulting in an effective tax rate of 8% compared to an income tax expense of $2.9 million for the comparable prior year period, at an effective tax rate of 22%. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to lower discrete items including mark-to-market adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to discrete items recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax for certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases, and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. The IRA is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Based on our current analysis of the provisions, we do not believe this legislation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We will continue to monitor the additional guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).
Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies
We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies. At this time, no claims of these types, certain of which are covered by insurance policies, have had a material effect on the Company. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates do not allow insurance recoveries related to punitive damages. For matters pertaining to the pre-acquisition activities of Custom Truck One Source, LP. (“Custom Truck LP”), the sellers of Custom Truck LP have agreed to indemnify the Company for losses arising out of the breach of pre-closing covenants in the purchase agreement and certain indemnified tax matters discussed below, with recourse limited to $10 million and $8.5 million escrow accounts, respectively.
16
From time to time, the Company may be audited by state and local taxing authorities. These audits typically focus on the Company’s withholding of state-specific sales tax and rental-related taxes.
Custom Truck LP’s withholdings of federal excise taxes for each of the four quarterly periods during 2015 are currently under audit by the IRS. The IRS issued an assessment on October 28, 2020 in an aggregate amount of $2.4 million for the 2015 periods, alleging that certain types of sold equipment are not eligible for the Mobile Machinery Exemption set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). An appeal was filed on January 28, 2021. Based on management’s understanding of the facts and circumstances, including the relevant provisions of the Code, and historical precedent, including previous successful appeals of similar assessments in prior years, management does not believe the likelihood of a loss resulting from the IRS assessment to be probable at this time.
While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the foregoing matters with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Purchase Commitments
We enter into purchase agreements with manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for our rental fleet and inventory. All of these agreements are cancellable within a specified notification period to the supplier.

21
Custom Truck One Source, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) are engaged in the business of providing a range of products and services to customers through rentals and sales of specialty equipment, rentals and sales of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.
We are a specialty equipment provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail and other infrastructure-related industries in North America. Our core business relates to our new equipment inventory and rental fleet of specialty equipment that is utilized by service providers in infrastructure development and improvement work. We offer our specialized equipment to a diverse customer base, including utilities and contractors, for the maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation of critical infrastructure assets, including distribution and transmission electric lines, telecommunications networks and rail systems, as well as for lighting and signage. We rent, produce, sell and service a broad range of new and used equipment, including bucket trucks, digger derricks, dump trucks, cranes, service trucks, and heavy-haul trailers. We manage the business in three reporting segments: Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”), Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) and Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”).
Financial and Performance Measures
Financial Measures
Revenue — As a full-service equipment provider, we generate revenue through renting, selling, assembling, upfitting, and servicing new and used heavy-duty trucks and cranes, as well as the sale of related parts. We also sell and rent specialized tools on an individual basis and in kits. Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers. The Company records changes in estimated collectability directly against rental revenue. Equipment sales revenue reflects the value of vocational trucks and other equipment sold to customers. Parts and service revenue is derived from maintenance and repair services, light upfit services, and parts, tools and accessories sold directly to customers.
Cost of rental revenue — Cost of rental revenue reflects repairs and maintenance costs of rental equipment, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to maintaining the rental fleet, and freight associated with the shipping of rental equipment.
Depreciation of rental equipment — Depreciation of rental equipment is comprised of depreciation expense on the rental fleet. We allocate the cost of rental equipment generally over the rentable life of the equipment. The depreciation allocation is based upon estimated lives ranging from five to seven years. The cost of equipment is depreciated to an estimated residual value using the straight-line method.
Cost of equipment sales — Cost of equipment sales reflects production and inventory costs associated with new units sold, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to production, and freight associated with the shipping and receiving of equipment and parts. Cost of equipment sales also includes the net book value of rental units sold.
Selling, general and administrative expenses — Selling, general and administrative expenses include sales compensation, fleet licensing fees and corporate expenses, including salaries, stock-based compensation expense, insurance, advertising costs, professional services, fees earned on customer arranged financing, gains or losses resulting from insurance settlements, and information technology expenses, including amortization of capitalized cloud computing arrangements.
Amortization and non-rental depreciation — Amortization expense relates to intangible assets such as customer lists, trade names, etc. Non-rental depreciation expense reflects the depreciation of property and equipment that is not part of the rental fleet. Depreciation of property used in the production of our specialized equipment is included in cost of equipment sales.
Transaction expenses and other — Transaction expenses and other expense include expenses directly related to the acquisition of businesses. These expenses are comprised of travel and out-of-pocket expenses and legal, accounting and valuation or appraisal fees incurred in connection with pre- and post-closure activities. We include costs and expenses associated with post-acquisition integration activities related to the acquired businesses. Management fees pursuant to the Corporate Advisory Services Agreement with Platinum are also included in this category.
Financing and other income — Financing and other income reflects the financing income associated with sales-type lease activity, foreign currency gains and losses related to our Canadian operations, as well as other miscellaneous gains or losses from non-operating activities. Also included in financing and other income are the unrealized remeasurement gains and losses related to our redeemable warrants.
Interest expense — Interest expense consists of contractual interest expense on outstanding debt obligations, floorplan financing facilities, amortization of deferred financing costs and other related financing expenses.
22
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) — We have net operating loss carryforward and disallowed interest deduction carryforward assets, which are generally available to be used to offset taxable income generated in future years. Due to limitations on the use of these carryforwards under U.S. federal and state income tax regulations, we record valuation allowances to reduce the carryforward assets to amounts that we estimate will be realized. Accordingly, income tax expense or benefit generally is comprised of changes to these valuation allowance estimates and does not reflect taxes on current period income (or tax benefit on current period losses). For these reasons, our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate.
Performance Measures
We consider the following key operational measures when evaluating our performance and making day-to-day operating decisions:
Ending OEC — Ending original equipment cost (“OEC”) is the original equipment cost of units at the end of the measurement period. OEC represents the original equipment cost, exclusive of the effect of adjustments to rental equipment fleet acquired in business combinations, and is the basis for calculating certain of the measures set forth below. This adjusted measure of OEC is used by our creditors pursuant to our credit agreements, wherein this is a component of the basis for determining compliance with our financial loan covenants. Additionally, the pricing of our rental contracts and equipment sales prices for our equipment is based upon OEC, and we measure a rate of return from our rentals and sales using OEC. OEC is a widely used industry metric to compare fleet dollar value independent of depreciation.
Average OEC on rent — Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent during the stated period.
Fleet utilization — Fleet utilization is defined as the 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. Utilization is a measure of fleet efficiency expressed as a percentage of time the fleet is on rent and is considered to be an important indicator of the revenue generating capacity of the fleet.
OEC on rent yield — OEC on rent yield (“ORY”) is a measure of return realized by our rental fleet during a 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 less than 12 months, ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
Sales order backlog — Sales order backlog consists of purchase orders received for customized and stock equipment. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.
Operating Segments
We operate in three reportable operating segments: Equipment Rental Solutions, Truck and Equipment Sales and Aftermarket Parts and Services.
Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”) Segment — We own a broad range of new and used specialty equipment, including truck-mounted aerial lifts, cranes, service trucks, dump trucks, trailers, digger derricks and other machinery and equipment. As of June 30, 2023, this equipment (the “rental fleet”) is comprised of more than 10,200 units. The majority of our rental fleet can be used across a variety of end-markets, which coincides with the needs of many of our customers who operate in multiple end-markets. As is customary for equipment rental companies, we sell used equipment out of our rental fleet to end-user customers. These sales are often made in response to specific customer requests. These sales offer customers an opportunity to buy well-maintained equipment with long remaining useful lives and enable us to effectively manage the age and mix of our rental fleet to match current market demand. We also employ rental purchase options (“RPOs”) on a select basis, which provide a buyout option with an established purchase price that decreases over time as rental revenue is collected. Customers are given credit against such purchase price for a portion of the amounts paid over the life of the rental, allowing customers the flexibility of a rental with the option to purchase at any time at a known price. Activities in our ERS segment consist of the rental and sale from the rental fleet, of the foregoing products.
Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) Segment — We offer a broad variety of new equipment for sale to be used across our end-markets, which can be modified to meet our customers’ specific needs. We believe that our integrated production capabilities and extensive knowledge gained over a long history of selling equipment have established us as a trusted partner for customers seeking tailored solutions with short lead times. In support of these activities, we primarily employ a direct-to-customer sales model, leveraging our dedicated sales force of industry and product managers, who are focused on driving national and local sales. We also opportunistically engage in the sale of used equipment purchased from third parties or received via trade-ins from new equipment sales customers. In all of these cases, we will sell used equipment directly to customers, rather than relying on auctions. Activities in our TES segment consist of the production and sale of new and used specialty equipment and vocational trucks, which includes equipment from leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) across our end-markets, as well as our Load KingTM brand.
23
Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”) Segment — The APS segment includes the sale of specialized aftermarket parts, including captive parts related to our Load KingTM brand, used in the maintenance and repair of the equipment we sell and rent. Specialized tools, including stringing blocks, insulated hot stick, and rigging equipment, are sold or rented to our customers on an individual basis or in packaged specialty kits. We also provide truck and equipment maintenance and repair services, which are executed throughout our nationwide branch network and fleet of mobile technicians supported by our 24/7 call center based in Kansas City, Missouri.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that the Company uses to monitor its results of operations and to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. The Company believes 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. The Company excludes 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. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other items that the Company does not view as indicative of ongoing performance. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of inventory and used equipment sold. When inventory or 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. Additionally, the pricing of rental contracts and equipment sales prices for equipment is based on OEC, and the Company measures a rate of return from rentals and sales using OEC. The Company also includes an adjustment to remove the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers containing a rental purchase option that are accounted for under GAAP as a sales-type lease. We include this adjustment because we believe continuing to reflect the transactions as an operating lease 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 are specified by the Company’s senior secured credit agreements.
Although management evaluates and presents Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons described herein, please be aware that this non-GAAP measure has 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 this non-GAAP financial measure differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and, as a result, the non-GAAP measure we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Total Revenue - The increase in total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was primarily due to strong customer demand for new equipment and rental equipment, as wells as for parts sales and services. The rental revenue reflects our continued expansion of our rental fleet, stable utilization and pricing gains. Equipment sales increased as the continuing improvement in supply chain challenges allowed for greater order fulfillments and our ability to replenish inventory.
Cost of Revenue, Excluding Rental Equipment Depreciation - The increase in cost of revenue, excluding rental equipment depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, was driven primarily by the increase in new and rental equipment sales volume.
Depreciation of Rental Equipment - Depreciation of our rental fleet was flat in the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the higher level of rental equipment sales offset by higher rental equipment levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, depreciation of our rental fleet decreased due to favorable market demand for used rental equipment.
25
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in general and administrative expenses due to higher commissions, increased headcount and wages, and additional expense associated with various information technology projects.
Total Other Expense - Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased primarily due to the increase in interest expense from variable rate debt and floor plan financing liabilities. The increase is also attributable to the mark-to-market income (loss) from the private warrants liability (accounted for as a derivative financial instrument) being in an income position of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a gain of $13.1 million and $18.8 million for the same periods in 2022.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) - Our overall effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, such as the relative amounts of income we earn in differing tax jurisdictions, tax law changes, certain non-deductible expenses (non-taxable income), such as compensation disallowance and mark-to-market adjustments on derivative financial instruments, and changes in the valuation allowance we establish against deferred tax assets. The rate is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year, such as legislative enactments and changes in our corporate structure that may occur. These discrete items may not be consistent from year to year. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, discrete items, including derivative mark-to-market adjustments, resulted in an overall effective tax rate in the period of 10.7% and 8.1%, respectively. The effect of these items resulted in approximately $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of tax expense being recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net Income - The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily the result of higher interest expense on variable-rate debt and variable-rate floor plan liabilities, the change in fair value of the private warrants liability from a gain to a loss position, and higher operating expenses, partially offset by gross profit expansion. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily the result of gross profit expansion, partially offset by higher interest expense on variable-rate debt and variable-rate floor plan liabilities and the change in fair value of the private warrants liability from a gain to a loss position.
Key Performance Measures
We believe that our operating model, together with our highly variable cost structure, enables us to sustain high margins, strong cash flow generation and stable financial performance throughout various economic cycles. We also believe that our vertical integration of rental equipment production as the principal supplier of our rental fleet provides us a cost advantage relative to other specialty rental companies. We are able to generate cash flow through our earnings, as well as sales of used and rental equipment. Our highly variable cost structure adjusts with the utilization of our equipment, thereby reducing our costs to match our revenue. We principally evaluate financial performance based on the following measurements: average OEC on rent, fleet utilization, and OEC on rent yield. We also report sales order backlog related to our customers’ orders for new vocational heavy duty trucks as an indicator of the demand environment for our products. The table below presents these key measures.

Ending OEC - The increase in Ending OEC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, was driven by positive net rental fleet additions since the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by our continued focus on selling older equipment from our rental fleet at current advantageous residual values.
Average OEC on Rent - The increase in Average OEC on rent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, was driven by fleet growth and continued strong rental demand.
Fleet Utilization - Fleet utilization decreased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to project delays related to transmission and distribution work caused by elevated temperatures in North America. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, fleet utilization remained flat compared to the same period of 2022.
OEC on Rent Yield - OEC on Rent Yield increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, as a result of the impact of the favorable pricing environment for our rental products, reflective of strong demand.
Sales Order Backlog - The increase in sales order backlog for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was driven by continued strong customer demand.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Issuer’s (and certain of its subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; (iii) make other restricted payments or investments; (iv) create liens on assets; (v) transfer or sell assets; (vi) create restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts by the Issuer to the Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries; (vii) engage in mergers or consolidations; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (ix) designate the Issuer’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
Events of Default
The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including non-payment, failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an event of default occurs and continues with respect to the 2029 Secured Notes, the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2029 Secured Notes of such series may declare the entire principal amount of all the 2029 Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately (except, that if such event of default is caused by certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, the entire principal of the 2029 Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice).

The Company consolidated certain notes payable assumed from past business acquisitions into a $23.9 million loan agreement with Security Bank of Kansas City (“SBKC”) that bears interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, and a $3.5 million loan agreement with SBKC that bears interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum.
2023 Credit Facility
On January 13, 2023, the Company entered into a new credit agreement allowing for borrowings of up to $18.0 million (the “2023 Credit Facility”).

A portion of the loan proceeds will be used to finance improvements to the property. In connection with entering into the agreement, the Company received proceeds of $13.7 million with the ability to draw an additional $4.2 million upon completion of certain construction milestones.

Borrowings are secured by the real property and improvements.
Historical Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash:
Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
(in $000s) | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||
Net cash flow from operating activities | $ | (1,105) | $ | (21,364) | |||||||
Net cash flow used in investing activities | (102,897) | (92,689) | |||||||||
Net cash flow from financing activities | 131,622 | 106,654 | |||||||||
Effect of exchange rate changes | 249 | 21 | |||||||||
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 27,869 | $ | (7,378) |
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $42.2 million, an increase of $27.9 million from December 31, 2022. Generally, we manage our cash flow by using any excess cash, after considering our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including paying down the outstanding balance under our ABL Facility.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $21.4 million in the same period of 2022. The use of cash in the current period is the result of our increased levels of inventory purchases and production.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $102.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $92.7 million in the same period of 2022. The increase in cash used for investing activities is due to an increase in purchases for rental and non-rental equipment and cloud computing arrangements of $94.1 million, partially offset by an increase of proceeds from sales and disposals of rental equipment of $34.1 million and decrease due to the HiRail acquisition in prior year, net of cash acquired of $49.8 million.
33
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $131.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $106.7 million in 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to an increase of net borrowings under the revolving credit facilities of $14.6 million and an increase in proceeds from debt of $13.5 million. These increases were partially offset by the Company’s repurchases of common stock of $4.5 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk
We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to outstanding amounts under our asset-based revolving credit facility and our floor plan financing arrangements. Interest rate changes generally impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future net income and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. As of June 30, 2023, we had $492.4 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate debt, consisting of the balance outstanding under the ABL Facility. Holding other variables constant, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would correspondingly change our interest expense on the ABL Facility by approximately $0.6 million on an annual basis.
We, from time to time, may manage a portion of our risks from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates as part of our risk management program through the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in the interest rates of our variable-rate debt.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $28.2 million of revenues denominated in Canadian dollars. Each 100-basis point increase or decrease in the average Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the year would have correspondingly changed our revenues by approximately $0.6 million on an annual basis. We do not currently hedge our exchange rate exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Inadequate General Information Technology Controls and Business Process Controls
On April 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Custom Truck LP, which resulted in a significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of completing the integration of policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company. As part of this integration, we identified deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls associated with the control activities component of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) framework.
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, we identified control deficiencies related to overall information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) for both user access and program change-management for systems supporting all of the Company’s internal control processes and controls, controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in business process controls and management review controls. Our business process controls (automated and manual) and management review controls were also deemed ineffective because they are adversely impacted by ineffective ITGCs. These control deficiencies could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that may not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, these deficiencies constitute a material weakness. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to our consolidated financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
(b) Remediation of the Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of implementing changes associated with the design, implementation, and monitoring ITGCs in the areas of user access and program change-management for systems supporting all of the Company’s internal control processes to ensure that internal controls are designed and operating effectively. A significant portion of our remediation plan to address the control deficiencies encompassed implementation of our new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which was completed in the second quarter of 2022. The new ERP system allows us to address segregation of duties by establishing user roles specific to the nature of each job function. We are also establishing controls to ensure appropriate authorization of new user access requests, including performance of routine reviews of user access, and controls over program-change management. Additionally, we are in the process of enhancing relevant process level controls that are relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
(c) Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation plans described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may, at any given time, be named as a defendant in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these potential lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In the opinion of management, there are no pending litigations, disputes or claims against the Company that, if decided adversely, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
No material changes occurred to the indicated risk factors as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
