“Our fourth quarter results concluded a strong year despite some end-market pressures in the second half of the year. In 2023, our TES segment realized 29% revenue growth compared to 2022. In addition, our ERS segment realized 10% year-over-year revenue growth. Our entire team was instrumental in achieving record vehicle production this year, which helped drive the performance in both segments,” said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. “As we head into 2024, we continue to see strong demand from customers across all our primary end-markets and in all three of our business segments. Our outlook for this year makes it clear that we expect 2024 to be another year of growth for Custom Truck. A strong focus on capital allocation this year will allow us to pursue our growth strategy and to deliver free cash flow generation and continued deleveraging, all of which will create long-term value for shareholders,” 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 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 period less than 12 months, 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 2023 was characterized by strong year-over-year customer demand for equipment sales, rental equipment and for parts sales and service, with full-year revenue increasing 18.6% to $1,865.1 million, as compared to full-year revenue in 2022 of $1,573.1 million. In the fourth quarter of 2023, total revenue was $521.8 million, an increase of 7.2% from the fourth quarter of 2022. Equipment sales increased 12.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $367.0 million, compared to $325.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting record levels of production, continuing improvements in the supply chain, and our ability to replenish inventory. Full-year 2023 equipment sales revenue improved 27.6% to $1,253.5 million, compared to full-year 2022 equipment sales revenue of $982.3 million. Fourth quarter 2023 rental revenue decreased 5.9% to $120.2 million, compared to $127.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, due to lower utilization and a decline in average OEC on rent. Full-year 2023 rental revenue improved 3.2% to $478.9 million, compared to full-year 2022 rental revenue of $464.0 million. Parts sales and service revenue increased 4.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $34.5 million, compared to $33.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Full-year 2023 parts sales and service revenue improved 4.8% to $132.7 million, compared to full-year 2022 parts sales and service revenue of $126.7 million.

In our ERS segment, rental revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $116.6 million compared to $123.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a 5.5% decrease. Fleet utilization declined to 77.6% compared to 86.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022, due to a decline in demand in the utility market. Average OEC on rent decreased 8.6% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the lower utilization in the quarter was impacted by a slowdown in transmission work caused by our customers’ supply chain delays, as well as regulatory and funding bottlenecks. Gross profit in the segment in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022 was $63.4 million and $77.8 million, respectively. Adjusted gross profit in the segment was $106.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $117.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted gross profit from rentals, which excludes depreciation of rental equipment, decreased to $88.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $96.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Revenue in our TES segment increased 20.9%, to $298.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, from $247.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of continued supply chain improvements, which allowed us to acquire more inventory and achieve record production levels that led to greater order fulfillments, as well as sustained strong customer demand. Gross profit improved by 19.1% to $52.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $44.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. At the end of the fourth quarter, TES saw a reduction in backlog of 11.6% to $688.6 million compared to the end of the third quarter of 2023, and a reduction of 8.7% from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily for the reasons detailed above, as well as the fact that new equipment sales revenue increased 29.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

APS segment revenue experienced an increase of $0.6 million, or 1.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2023, to $38.2 million, as compared to $37.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of growth in demand for parts, tools and accessories (“PTA”) sales. Gross profit in the segment improved 72.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $10.6 million, as compared to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of the Company’s focus on managing costs.

Net income was $16.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $30.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income is primarily the result of higher interest expense on variable-rate debt and variable-rate floorplan liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $118.4 million, compared to $124.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by higher costs associated with variable-rate floorplan liabilities as a result of higher rates and inventory levels in 2023 compared to 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents was $10.3 million. Total Debt outstanding was $1,517.8 million, Net Debt was $1,507.5 million and Net Leverage Ratio was 3.5x as of December 31, 2023. Availability under the senior secured credit facility was $194.5 million as of December 31, 2023, and based on our borrowing base, we have an additional $323.6 million of availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, Ending OEC decreased by $0.1 million as our fleet additions were more than offset by our continued focus on selling older equipment from our rental fleet at current advantageous residual values. With an average fleet age of 3.5 years, we believe our fleet is well positioned to capitalize from continuing strong rental demand. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, CTOS purchased approximately $18.9 million of its common stock.

2024 Outlook

We are providing our full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024 at this time. We expect 2024 to be another year of growth. We believe TES will continue to benefit from good demand and our strong backlog entering the year. We believe the ERS outlook from our rental customers for long-term demand and growth remains strong. In 2024, we are currently experiencing some near-term headwinds in our utility end markets, largely related to our customers’ supply chain issues and timing of the commencement of certain transmission projects, which is driving lower OEC on rent in our core T&D markets. As these markets recover and grow in 2024, we expect to further grow our rental fleet (based on net OEC) by mid-single digits. Regarding TES, supply chain improvements, healthy inventory levels exiting 2023, and historically high backlog levels will continue to improve our ability to produce and deliver even more units in 2024. Further, after a year of significant strategic investment in inventory levels in 2023, we expect to generate meaningful free cash flow in 2024, setting a target to generate more than $100 million of levered free cash flow1 and delivering a net leverage ratio of less than 3.0 times by the end of the fiscal year. “Our FY24 outlook reflects the long-term strength of our end markets and the continued focus by our teams to profitably grow our business. The outlook also reflects the risks associated with some continued challenges for our rental customers, particularly in the T&D sector, which we expect could persist through a large portion of the fiscal year,” said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS.

Levered Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less cash flows from investing activities, excluding acquisitions, plus acquisition of inventory through floor plan payables – non-trade less repayment of floor plan payables – non-trade, both of which are included in cash flow from financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

2

CTOS is not able to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2024 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 by excluding items considered to be non-recurring. 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 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 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 we measure a rate of return from rentals and sales using OEC. We also include 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 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 this measure 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 to evaluate our debt levels and progress toward leverage targets, which is consistent with the manner our lenders and management use this measure. We define net leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Net Income (Loss). 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 (loss) pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement.

(3)

Represents the adjustment for the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing 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.
