Third Quarter 2015 Highlights

CEO Comments

Erik Olsson, Mobile Mini’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “I am very pleased with our performance overall and within both our individual portable storage and specialty containment businesses. Our portable storage business grew a strong 7.7% year-over-year, driven by increases in both units on rent and rental rates. The momentum we saw in the later part of the second quarter continued into the third quarter, with our North American sales force driving the highest number of quarterly portable storage activations in the Company’s history, with core activations up 12% from the third quarter 2014. As a result, utilization at the end of the quarter was a strong 72.7%. In our specialty containment business we continue to see good momentum in the downstream industrial segment and our overall specialty containment business generated $11 million of adjusted EBITDA at a robust 40.4% margin.”

Mr. Olsson continued, “We delivered a very good quarter, which included expanding our portable storage adjusted EBITDA margin to 39.3%, notwithstanding short-term pressure related to the divestiture of our wood mobile office business. Given our increasing utilization we also added to our sales force and made incremental growth capital expenditures for high demand markets. We continue to leverage our infrastructure across our two business segments, and are well-positioned for continued growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses in this press release certain non-GAAP financial information. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and they are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measurements are furnished earlier in this release, and as follows:

Adjusted net income information and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income and related earnings per share information exclude certain transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. We believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier to compare our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before discontinued operations, net of tax (if applicable), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and debt restructuring or extinguishment expense (if applicable), including any write-off of deferred financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation, as well as transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies.

We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and that they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA margin is operating margin, which represents operating income divided by revenues.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus or plus, net cash used in or provided by investing activities, excluding acquisitions and certain transactions. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information regarding our liquidity and ability to meet our short-term obligations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in our existing business, debt service obligations, payment of authorized quarterly dividends, repurchase of our common stock and strategic small acquisitions.
