BakerCorp International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Organization, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation
We are a provider of liquid and solid containment solutions, operating within a specialty sector of the broader industrial services industry. Our revenue is generated by providing rental equipment, customized solutions, and services to our customers. We provide a wide variety of steel and polyethylene temporary storage tanks, roll-off containers, pumps, filtration, pipes, hoses and fittings, shoring, and related products to a broad range of customers for a number of applications. Tank and roll-off container applications include the storage of water, chemicals, waste streams, and solid waste. Pump applications include the pumping of groundwater, municipal waste, and other fluids. Filtration applications include the separation of various solids from liquids. We serve a variety of industries, including industrial and environmental remediation, refining, environmental services, construction, chemicals, transportation, power, municipal works, and oil and gas. We have branches within 23 states in the United States as well as branches in Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to BakerCorp International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2017, included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 26, 2017. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial presentation.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions with our subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, customer rebates, sales returns and allowances, medical insurance claims, litigation accruals, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, depreciation and amortization, contingencies, income taxes, share-based compensation (expense and liability), and derivatives. Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are based on historical experience, future expectations, and other factors which we believe to be reasonable. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The guidance clarifies how an entity should account for effects of a modification of a share-based payment. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2017-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 23), Restricted Cash". The guidance will require restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective, and do not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, based upon our current procedures for tracking restricted cash and cash equivalents.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets other than Inventory". The guidance will require companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity sales and transfers of assets other than inventory in the period in which the transfer occurs. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires modified retrospective adoption. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective, and do not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, based upon our current procedures for tracking the transfer and sale of intra-entity assets.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU No. 2016-15 clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for non-public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU No. 2016-09”). ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either liability or equity, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for non-public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU No. 2016-02”). This amendment requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under ASC 840 “Leases” and increases the disclosure requirements surrounding these leases. For non-public business entities, ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 will require companies to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 creates a five-step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. A decision about which method to use will affect a company’s implementation plans. The standard and multiple clarifying standard updates are effective for non-public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the three months ended April 30, 2017, certain assets that were on long-term rentals were returned in a condition beyond repair. We determined that the net book value of these assets exceeded the assets’ estimated fair value. As a result, during the three months ended April 30, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million in our North American segment.

Included in machinery and equipment are assets under capital leases with a cost of $4.7 million as of April 30, 2017 and January 31, 2017, and accumulated depreciation of $1.4 million and $1.2 million as of April 30, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively.
Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 was $10.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended April 30, 2017

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU No. 2017-04). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The standard removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead we perform our annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. We will record an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on income and market approaches.
The North American goodwill was written down to zero as of January 31, 2017 and there were no indicators of impairment to our European reporting unit as of April 30, 2017.

For the three months ended April 30, 2016
During the quarter ended April 30, 2016, we encountered a reduction in our operating results in comparison to our forecast, primarily due to greater weakness in upstream oil and gas than anticipated, slower recovery in our construction business, and the delay of capital projects by refinery and power plants which can be seen through our lower volume of work with industrial service customers. As a result of the decline in demand for our products and services, we re-assessed our revenue and EBITDA forecast beginning with the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 using a bottoms-up approach, having conversations with our key customers, and performing an analysis on current market conditions and industry spending behavior. Based on our assessment, we noted that despite the recent stabilization of oil prices, there will be continued uncertainty in the energy market resulting in a slow-down in capital spend. As a result, we updated our projections to reflect the decline in activity, adjusted our forecast for the outer years to maintain similar growth rates as our previous forecast, and performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test.
Under the first step of the impairment test, we determined the carrying value of the North American reporting unit exceeded fair value. We then performed the second step of the impairment test for the North American reporting unit and calculated the implied fair value of goodwill, which was less than its carrying value. Based on our analysis, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $65.7 million in our North American reporting unit. This impairment charge, which is included under the caption “Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2016, did not impact our operations, compliance with our debt covenants or our cash flows. For the European reporting unit, the fair value exceeded the carrying value, suggesting no indication of potential goodwill impairment.
In calculating the fair value of our North American reporting unit under the first step, we gave equal weight to the income approach, which analyzed projected discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which considered comparable public companies as well as comparable industry transactions.
Under the income approach, we estimate future capital expenditures required to maintain our rental fleet under normalized operations and utilize the following Level 3 estimates and assumptions in the discounted cash flow analysis:
Long-term EBITDA margin range of 25.8% to 30.5%, reflecting our historical and forecasted profit margins;
Long-term revenue growth rate range of 3.0% to 8.0% based on long-term nominal growth rate potential;
A discount rate of 10% based on our weighted average cost of capital;

10


Under the market approach, we used other significant observable market inputs including various peer company comparisons and industry transaction data, which resulted in revenue and EBITDA market multiples of 1.75x to 2.00x and 6.00x to 7.50x, respectively. In evaluating our market multiples, we placed higher consideration on peer companies that were experiencing similar oil and gas pressures. Changes in the estimates utilized under the income and market approaches could materially affect the determination of fair value and the conclusions of the step one analysis for the reporting unit.

(1)     Amounts are stated Gross, net of impairment charges to trade name of $18.3 million and $23.8 million in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
We evaluate the carrying value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset (trade name) annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. To test our indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment, we compare the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset to carrying value. We estimate the fair value using an income approach and using the asset’s projected discounted cash flows. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value.
We assess the impairment of definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The asset is impaired if its carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In assessing recoverability, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. The impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. We estimate fair value utilizing the projected discounted cash flow method and a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. When calculating fair value, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors. There were no indicators of impairment during the three months ended April 30, 2017.
Due to certain indicators of impairment identified during our April 30, 2016 interim impairment test of goodwill, we assessed our indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Based on our analysis, we concluded that the carrying value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset (trade name) exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $18.3 million in our North American reporting unit. This impairment charge, which is included under the caption “Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2016, does not impact our operations, compliance with our debt covenants or our cash flows. We estimated the fair value of our trade name using the relief-from-royalty method, which uses several significant assumptions, including an estimate of useful life and revenue projections that consider historical and estimated future results, general economic and market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The following estimates and assumptions were also used in the relief-from-royalty method:
Royalty rate of 1.5% based on market observed royalty rates; and
A discount rate of 12.0% based on the required rate of return for the trade name asset.
As of April 30, 2016, there was no impairment recorded of our definite-lived intangible assets.

On June 1, 2011, we (i) entered into a $435.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $390.0 million term loan facility (the “Senior Term Loan”) and a $45.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) issued $240.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).

Credit Facility
On February 7, 2013, we entered into a first amendment to refinance our Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”), to refinance a like amount of term loans (the “Original Term Loan”) under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The LIBOR margin applicable to the Amended Senior Term Loan is 3.00%, which is 0.75% less than the LIBOR margin applicable to the Original Term Loan. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, among other things, (i) the Senior Term Loan maturity date was extended to February 7, 2020, provided that the maturity will be March 2, 2019 if the Amended Senior Term Loan is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to March 2, 2019, (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date was extended to February 7, 2018, and (iii) we obtained increased flexibility with respect to certain covenants and restrictions relating to our ability to incur additional debt, make investments, debt prepayments, and acquisitions. Principal on the Senior Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of $1.0 million. Furthermore, the excess cash flow prepayment requirement is in effect until the maturity date.
On November 13, 2013, we entered into a second amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company borrowed $35.0 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan”), which may be used for general corporate purposes, including to finance permitted acquisitions. The terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loans are the same as those applicable to the term loans under the Credit Facility.

On November 3, 2016, we entered into a third amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment (i) extends the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date from February 7, 2018 to November 7, 2019 (provided that such maturity date will be accelerated to January 30, 2019 unless the Company’s senior notes are repaid in full or extended or refinanced on or prior to January 30, 2019) and (ii) reduces the revolver commitment from $45.0 million to $40.0 million in addition to certain other amendments to the original terms.
    

The Credit Facility, as amended, in February 2013, November 2013 and November 2016, places certain limitations on our (and all of our U.S. subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, utilize assets as security in other transactions, and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. In addition, we may be required to satisfy and maintain a total leverage ratio if there is an outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility of 25% or more of the committed amount on any quarter end.

    
The Third Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification. Costs incurred in connection with the Third Amendment are being deferred and amortized over the term of the amended Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, any unamortized deferred costs related to the old arrangement were written off in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, we recorded $0.5 million of deferred costs related to the Third Amendment.

13



As of April 30, 2017, we did not have an outstanding balance on the revolving loan; and therefore, we were not subject to a leverage test. Additionally, as of April 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of our requirements and covenant tests under the Credit Facility, as amended.
 
Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2019
On June 1, 2011, we issued $240.0 million of fixed rate 8.25% notes due June 1, 2019. We may redeem all or any portion of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to redeem all of the Notes from the holders at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the repurchase. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by our direct and indirect existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries.

Interest and Fees
Costs related to debt financing are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt instruments utilizing the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility and the effective interest method for our senior term and incremental term loan facilities. As of April 30, 2017 and January 31, 2017, deferred financing costs of $6.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, are reflected as a reduction of the underlying debt. In addition, we amortized $0.7 million of deferred financing costs during each of the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 9. Income Taxes
The income tax benefit for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 is based on the estimated effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year. The estimated effective tax rate is subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods as our estimates of pre-tax income and loss for the year fluctuate, including changes in the geographic mix of pre-tax income and loss.
 
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 were a benefit of 36.9% and 22.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to income taxed in foreign jurisdictions, state taxes, non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses and discrete items for the period ended April 30, 2017. The difference in effective income tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily relates to a change in the estimated forecast of pre-tax book income and loss for each respective jurisdiction, which includes an impairment of non-deductible goodwill recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2016. Discrete items related primarily to excess shortfalls associated with the cancellation and expiration of stock options recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2017.
 
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Our deferred tax assets primarily relate to federal net operating loss carry-forwards. Management believes we will realize the benefit of existing deferred tax assets based on the scheduled reversal of U.S. deferred tax liabilities, related to depreciation and amortization expenses not deductible for tax purposes, which is ordinary income and therefore of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets. This reversal will occur in substantially similar time periods and in the same jurisdictions as the deferred tax assets. As such, the deferred tax liabilities are considered a source of income sufficient to support our U.S. deferred tax assets; therefore, a valuation allowance is not required as of April 30, 2017.
 
We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on whether the benefit has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. We do not believe there will be any material unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
 
We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years. However, due to the risk that audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty and as we continue to evaluate such uncertainties in light of current facts and circumstances, our current estimate of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease for all open tax years. As of the date of this report, we do not anticipate that there will be any material change in the unrecognized tax benefits associated with these audits within the next twelve months.

Note 10. Shareholder’s Equity

Share-Based Compensation
During June 2011, BCI Holdings adopted a share-based compensation plan, The BakerCorp International Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011Plan”). Subsequent to the adoption of the 2011 Plan, on September 12, 2013, the BCI Holdings’ Board of Directors amended the 2011 Plan by resolution to increase the number of shares of BCI Holdings common stock authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan to 1,001,339 shares. As of April 30, 2017, there were 260,170 shares available for grant. The amended 2011 Plan permits the granting of BCI Holdings stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock to eligible employees and non-employee directors and consultants.

Aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax value that option holders would have received had all stock option holders exercised their options as of April 30, 2017. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the estimated fair market value of the BCI Holdings common stock at the end of the period and the stock option exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the BCI Holdings common stock.

As of April 30, 2017, there was $16.8 million of unrecognized pre-tax share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options of which $0.9 million we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 0.7 years. We expect to recognize the remaining $15.9 million, which includes $8.1 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense for the CEO’s options, upon a Change in Control or initial public offering (“IPO”) as defined in the 2011 Plan. During the three months ended April 30, 2017, we did not recognize any share-based compensation expense related to the CEO’s options.
No options vested during the three months ended April 30, 2017.

The share-based compensation expense included within employee related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations was the following:

Liability Awards
We account for certain option awards as liability awards, as we determined cash settlement upon exercise is probable. The expiration of certain options classified as liability awards resulted in a decrease to non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.03 million during the three months ended April 30, 2017. We remeasured the fair value of these options during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, resulting in a decrease to our non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016 the fair value of our share-based compensation liability awards totaled $35,000 and $66,000, respectively. Our share-based compensation liability is fair valued using level 3 inputs which are based on internal valuations and considering input from third parties and utilizing the following assumptions:

Note 12. Related Party Transactions

From time to time, we enter into transactions in the normal course of business with related parties. The accounting policies that we apply to our transactions with related parties are consistent with those applied in transactions with independent third parties.

Pursuant to a professional services agreement between us and Permira Advisers L.L.C. (the “Sponsor”), we agreed to pay the Sponsor an annual management fee of $0.5 million, payable quarterly, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, in connection with the planning, strategy, and oversight support provided to management. We recorded $0.1 million for each of the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, in aggregate management fees and expenses to the Sponsor. Management fees payable to the Sponsor totaled $0.04 million as of April 30, 2017 and January 31, 2017. Management fees are included in professional fees in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of conducting our business. These include claims relating to (i) personal injury or property damage involving equipment rented or sold by us, (ii) motor vehicle accidents involving our vehicles and our employees, (iii) employment-related matters, and (iv) environmental matters. We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. We expense legal fees in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 14. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Our Notes are guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). This indebtedness is not guaranteed by BCI Holdings or our foreign subsidiaries (together, the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”). The guarantor subsidiaries are all one hundred percent owned, and the guarantees are made on a joint and several basis and are full and unconditional (subject to subordination provisions and subject to customary release provisions and a standard limitation, which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by each guarantor will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws). The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the parent, guarantors, and non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information on a consolidated basis for the periods indicated. The parent referenced in the condensed consolidating financial statements is BakerCorp International, Inc., the issuer.
We conduct substantially all of our business through our subsidiaries. To make the required payments on our Notes and other indebtedness, and to satisfy other liquidity requirements, we will rely, in large part, on cash flows from these subsidiaries, mainly in the form of dividends, royalties, and advances, or payments of intercompany loan arrangements. The ability of these subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us will be affected by, among other factors, the obligations of these entities to their creditors, requirements of corporate and other law, and restrictions contained in agreements entered into by or relating to these entities.
The parent and the guarantor subsidiaries have each reflected investments in their respective subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. There are no restrictions limiting the transfer of cash from guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries to the parent.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis includes historical and forward-looking information that should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017. The following tables show our selected condensed consolidated historical financial data for the stated periods. The financial information presented may not be indicative of our future performance. The following discussion and analysis provides information we believe is relevant to assess and understand our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion includes the following:
 
Overview;
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments;
Results of Operations; and
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Overview

Business
We are a provider of liquid and solid containment solutions operating within the specialty sector of the broader industrial services industry. We provide equipment rental, services and sales to our customers through a solution-oriented approach often involving multiple products. We provide our containment solutions within the United States through a national network with the capability to serve customers in all 50 states as well as a growing number of international locations in Europe and Canada. We maintain one of the largest and most diverse liquid and solid containment rental fleets in the industry consisting of more than 24,900 units, including steel tanks, polyethylene tanks, modular tanks, roll-off boxes, pumps, pipe, hoses and fittings, filtration, tank trailers, berms, and trench shoring equipment.

We serve customers in over 15 industries, including construction, refinery, industrial and environmental services, chemicals, and oil, gas and power. During the three months ended April 30, 2017, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue.

The demand for our services in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry, which comprised approximately 9.3% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2017, depends on the continued demand for, and production of, oil and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and the substantial reductions in crude oil prices that began in October 2014 and has continued through 2017, have resulted in a decline in the level of drilling and production activity, reducing the demand for containment solutions in the basins in which we operate. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, we recorded charges totaling $116.3 million associated with the impairment of all of our goodwill and and a portion of our other intangible assets within our North American segment as a result of the sustained decline in oil prices, together with the projected market expectations of a slow recovery of such prices, making it more likely than not that the fair value of these assets had decreased below their respective carrying values. A further reduction in crude oil and natural gas prices could lead to continued declines in the level of production activity and demand for our services, which could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges on our intangible assets and property and equipment associated with our North American operations.

We have the opportunity to capitalize on a number of growth initiatives to increase the breadth of the services we offer and differentiate our capabilities with respect to our people, products and solutions. Certain key elements of our long-term strategy include:
Commit to safety. We focus on ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for our employees, customers and communities where we live and work. We execute this through a program called BakerZero. Through this program, we develop and implement policies and procedures to govern and promote workplace safety, including regular management safety reviews, daily branch safety training sessions and a disciplinary action program for incidents that result from non-compliance with our safety programs.
Increase our Penetration in Key Industries and Evaluate Opportunities for End Market Expansion. Our low customer concentration, diversity of end markets, and long-standing relationships allow us to capitalize on market and macroeconomic trends while providing a hedge against more volatile industries.

28


Maintain Commercial Excellence Through Comprehensive Equipment Rental Solutions. As the premier global specialty rental company in our market, we have one of the largest branch networks with a broad equipment and service offering. We distinguish ourselves from our competitors and build customer loyalty by leveraging our extensive network to provide integrated and differentiated rental solutions.
Achieve Operational Excellence by Continuously Developing our Systems and Processes. We are focused on company-wide process improvements such as cost leverage initiatives, equipment rent ready optimization for the branch network, fleet optimization through our newly developed Asset Management System (“AMS”) and advanced Quality Management System (“QMS”).
Expand Geographically. Historically, we have increased penetration in new geographic regions and generated profitable growth by opening new branches within North America and Europe and introducing our products and services. We believe there is an opportunity to continue to open new branches in Europe and in certain under-served regions of North America.
Retain the Most Talented Employees in the Industry. Through our best in class training programs and new annual goal-setting and performance management process, we ensure that our workforce is aligned to deliver the highest value to our shareholders, customers, and employees.
Pursue Selected Acquisitions. Our markets remain fragmented and have historically presented numerous attractive acquisition candidates. We intend to pursue potential acquisitions that offer complementary products and services or expand our geographic footprint.

Our operations are managed from our corporate headquarters, which is located in Plano, Texas. The majority of our operations, resources, property, and equipment are located in North America, and predominantly in the United States. The United States and Canada comprise our North American segment. Our equipment has the capability to be utilized for multiple applications within North America. We incentivize our local managers to maximize return on assets under their control and we have well developed systems to enable equipment and resource sharing. As a result, equipment in the U.S. and Canada is readily tranferable and shared by the local branch managers. The process of equipment and resource sharing within our reportable segments enables us to maximize our efficiency and respond to shifts in customer demand.

We serve customers in our European segment from branches located in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Our European operations are headquartered in the Netherlands. Our equipment is often transferred between European locations to serve customers as demand dictates.

Rental Revenue Metrics
We evaluate rental revenue, the largest portion of our revenue, utilizing the following metrics:
Rental Activity – The change in rental activity is measured by the impact of several items, including the utilization of rental equipment that we individually track which reflects the demand for our products in relation to the level of equipment, volume of rental revenue on bulk items not individually tracked (which includes pipes, hoses, fittings, and shoring), and volume of re-rent revenue, resulting from the rental of equipment which we do not own.
Pricing – The impact of changes in pricing is measured by the increase or declines in the average daily, weekly or monthly rental rates on the serialized rental equipment that we specifically track.
Available Rental Fleet – The available rental fleet, as we define it, is the average number of equipment items within our fleet that we individually track.

Seasonality
Demand from our customers has historically been higher during the second half of our fiscal year compared to the first half of the year. The peak demand period for our products and services typically occurs during the months of August through November. This peak demand period is driven by certain customers that need to complete maintenance work and other specific projects before the onset of colder weather. Because much of our revenue is derived from storing or moving liquids, the impact of weather may hinder the ability of our customers to fully utilize our equipment. This is particularly the case for customers with project locations in regions that are subject to freezing temperatures during winter.


30


Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments
The preparation and presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to establish policies and make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect (i) the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, and (ii) the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, customer rebates, sales returns and allowances, medical insurance claims, litigation accruals, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, depreciation, contingencies, income taxes, share-based compensation (expense and liability), and derivatives. We believe our estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be significant.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably may have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may materially impact the financial statements. We do not believe that there have been any significant changes during the three months ended April 30, 2017 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies, estimates, and judgments included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2, “Accounting Pronouncements” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of new accounting guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe we have a reasonable basis to make these statements through our management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records, and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that our management’s expectations, beliefs, or projections will be achieved.

The discussions of our financial condition and results of operations may include various forward-looking statements about future costs and prices of commodities, production volumes, industry trends, demand for our products and services, and projected results of operations and our projected capital resources and liquidity. Statements that are not historical in nature are considered to be forward-looking statements. They include statements regarding our expectations, hopes, beliefs, estimates, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “look forward to,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.


31


The forward-looking statements set forth in this quarterly report regarding, among other things, achievement of revenue, profitability and net income in future quarters, future prices and demand for our products and services, estimated fair value for purposes of write-down of goodwill, and estimated cash flows and sufficiency of cash flows to fund capital expenditures, reflect only our expectations regarding these matters. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following.
 
Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.
Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
Our business is subject to the general health of the economy, and accordingly any slowdown in the current economy or decrease in general economic activity could materially adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
Continuing or sustained decline in oil prices and/or natural gas prices at or below current levels could have a negative impact on our operating results.
Ongoing government review of hydraulic fracturing and its environmental impact could lead to changes to this activity or its substantial curtailment, which could materially adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
We intend to expand our business into new geographic markets, and this expansion may be costly and may not be successful.
Our growth strategy includes evaluating selective acquisitions, which entails certain risks to our business and financial performance.
We intend to expand into new product lines, which may be costly and may not ultimately be successful.
We depend on our suppliers for the equipment we rent to customers.
As our rental equipment ages, we may face increased costs to maintain, repair, and replace that equipment and new equipment could become more expensive.
The short term nature of our rental arrangements exposes us to redeployment risks and means that we could experience rapid fluctuations in revenue in response to market conditions.
Our customers may decide to begin providing their own liquid and solid containment solutions rather than sourcing those products from us.
Our industry is highly competitive, and competitive pressures could lead to a decrease in our market share or in the prices that we may charge.
We lease all of our branch locations, and accordingly are subject to the risk of substantial changes to the real estate rental markets and our relationships with our landlords.
Our business is subject to numerous environmental and safety regulations. If we are required to incur significant compliance or remediation costs, our liquidity and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Changes in the many laws and regulations to which we are subject in the United States, Europe and Canada, or our failure to comply with them, could materially adversely affect our business.
We have operations outside the United States. As a result, we may incur losses from currency fluctuations.
Turnover of our management and our ability to attract and retain other key personnel may affect our ability to efficiently manage our business and execute our strategy.
If our employees should unionize, this could impact our costs and ability to administer our business.
We are exposed to a variety of claims relating to our business, and our insurance may not fully cover them.
Disruptions in our information technology systems could materially adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations and provide effective services to our customers.
Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies of fuel could harm our business.
If we are unable to collect on contracts with customers, our operating results would be materially adversely affected.
Climate change, climate change regulations, and greenhouse effects may materially adversely impact our operations and markets.
Existing trucking regulations and changes in trucking regulations may increase our costs and negatively impact our results of operations.
We may be required to recognize additional impairment charges in the future which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


32


For a more complete description of these and other possible risks and uncertainties, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2017. Our forward-looking statements herein speak only as of the date hereof, and we make no commitment to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements in order to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations.

EBITDA represents the sum of net loss, interest expense, income taxes and depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain expenses detailed within the net loss to Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation above. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management to measure performance, are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors. EBITDA is commonly utilized in our industry to evaluate operating performance, and Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine our compliance with financial covenants related to our debt instruments and is a key metric used to determine incentive compensation for certain of our employees, including members of our executive management team. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are included as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because in the opinion of management they eliminate items that have less bearing on our operating performance and highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses for the planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate our operating results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized items under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to measures of our financial performance as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net loss. Because other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, EBITDA may not be, and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein is not, comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The average daily rental rate is used by management to gauge the daily rate of rental equipment that we specifically track during a given period. It is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure.
(3)
Total operating expenses by reporting segment excludes inter-segment allocations from North America to Europe of $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Revenue
     
North America
Our North American segment revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in revenues from industrial service customers of $1.5 million, or 18.3%, chemical customers of $1.2 million, or 21.8% and oil and gas customers of $0.7 million, or 11.4%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from our construction industry customers of $1.0 million, or 10.0%. The decreases are primarily due to continued pressure in the upstream and downstream oil and gas markets as well as reduced downstream and pipeline opportunities. The increase in the construction industry is due to our focus on improving our penetration into a growing market. Despite the decline in revenue, our average utilization rate remained constant. Our average daily rental rate declined due to competitive pricing pressures in the marketplace. The rental revenue impact of these industries also impacted our sales revenue. Our service revenue declined slightly as a result of the decline in rental revenue.

Europe
Our European segment revenue increased primarily due to an increase in revenues from refinery customers of $0.7 million, or 52.8% and industrial service customers of $0.5 million, or 27.1%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our environmental remediation customers of $1.0 million, or 50.1%. The increase is primarily due to the introduction of our pumps and filtration line of business partially offset by a large project in the prior year that did not recur in the current year. Average utilization decreased 720 bps primarily due to the 32.1% growth in the number of rental units as our expansion into the pump and filtration business continues to expand. The decrease in our average daily rental rate is due to new competition entering the market.

Operating Expenses

North America    

The decrease in total operating expenses of $82.4 million is due to the following:

$84.0 million decrease in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments that was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
$0.5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense due to more assets becoming fully depreciated than the depreciation on new assets as well as the impairment of certain identified assets during the year ended January 31, 2017.

The above decreases were partially offset by the following increases:

$0.8 million increase in repair and maintenance primarily due to the $0.6 million reversal of a regulatory liability in the period ended April 30, 2016 and a $0.2 million increase in rental asset repair and maintenance.
$0.4 million decrease in the gain on sale of equipment as a result of lower equipment sales.
$0.3 million increase in employee related expenses primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in insurance costs and a $0.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in payroll and payroll-related costs due to a reduction in headcount from 803 as of April 30, 2016 to 758 as of April 30, 2017. The increased insurance costs were due to a number of large claims in health insurance under our self-insured plan offset by lower worker’s compensation insurance. The increase in share-based compensation expense was due to the remeasurement of stock option awards accounted for as liability awards for the period ended April 30, 2016 that resulted in a reduction of expense of $0.3 million.
$1.0 million increase in rental expense primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in outside hauling due to the repositioning of assets to meet market demands as well as costs to transport our assets to refurbishment centers.
$0.3 million increase in other operating expenses due to an increase in bad debt expense.


37


Europe
The increase in total operating expenses of $0.7 million is due to the following:

$0.2 million increase in filtration cost of sales due to increased sales.
$0.2 million increase in rental expenses related to the increase in rental revenue.
$0.2 million increase in other operating expenses primarily related to staffing and business development
expenses.
$0.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of an increased rental fleet due to the
addition of pump and filtration equipment.

 
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit during the three months ended April 30, 2017 partially decreased by $16.1 million to $4.8 million from $20.9 million during the three months ended April 30, 2016. The tax benefit decrease was primarily due to a decrease in book losses for the three months ended April 30, 2017, partially offset by impairment of non-deductible goodwill which was a discrete item for the three months ended April 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Summary
We have a history of generating higher cash flow from operations than net (loss), income recorded during the same period. The cash flow to fund our business has historically been generated from operations. We utilize this cash flow to invest in property and equipment that are core to our business and to reduce debt. We invest in assets that have relatively long useful lives. The Internal Revenue Code allows us to accelerate the depreciation of these assets for tax purposes over a much shorter period allowing us to defer the payment of income taxes.

Our cash held outside the United States may be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, may be subject to United States federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. We do not plan to repatriate cash balances from our foreign subsidiaries to fund our operations within the United States. We have not provided for the United States federal tax liability on these amounts as this cash is considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States. We utilize a variety of cash planning strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. Our intent is to meet our domestic liquidity needs through ongoing cash flow, external borrowings, or both.

Our business requires ongoing investment in equipment to maintain the size of our rental fleet. Most of our assets, if properly maintained, may generate a level of revenue similar to new assets of the same type over the assets’ useful lives. There is not a well-defined secondary or resale market for the majority of our assets; therefore, we rent our assets for as long as they may safely be employed to meet our customers’ needs. We invest capital in additional equipment with the expectation of generating revenue on that investment within a relatively short period of time.

We invest in new equipment for several reasons, including:
to expand our fleet of current product lines within markets where we already operate;
to enter new geographic regions;
to add additional product offerings in response to customer or market demands; and
to replace equipment that has been retired because it is no longer functional.

We have not made long-term commitments to purchase equipment. Additionally, the period of time between when we place an order for equipment and when we begin to receive it is typically two to four months. This ordering process enables us to quickly reduce our capital spending during periods of economic slowdown. During periods of expansion, we fund our investments in equipment utilizing our cash flow from operations or borrowings. Management believes our cash flow from operations and our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our current operating needs and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

We may use funds to repurchase our outstanding indebtedness from time to time, including outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and notes. Repurchases may be made in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms we deem appropriate and subject to our cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements, and other factors management deems relevant.

Debt
On June 1, 2011, we (i) entered into a $435.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $390.0 million term loan facility (the “Senior Term Loan”) and a $45.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) issued $240.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).

Credit Facility

On February 7, 2013, we entered into a first amendment to our Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) to refinance our Credit Facility. Pursuant to the First Amendment, we borrowed $384.2 million of term loans (the “Amended Senior Term Loan”) to refinance a like amount of term loans (the “Original Term Loan”) under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The LIBOR margin applicable to the Amended Senior Term Loan is 3.00%, which is 0.75% less than the LIBOR margin applicable to the Original Term Loan. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, among other things, (i) the Senior Term Loan maturity date was extended to February 7, 2020, provided that the maturity will be March 2, 2019 if the Amended Senior Term Loan is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to March 2, 2019, (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date was extended to February 7, 2018, and (iii) we obtained increased flexibility with respect to certain covenants and restrictions relating to the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make investments, debt prepayments, and acquisitions. Principal on the Senior Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of $1.0 million. Furthermore, the excess cash flow prepayment requirement is in effect until the maturity date.
On November 13, 2013, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company borrowed $35.0 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan”), which may be used for general corporate purposes, including to finance permitted acquisitions. The terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loan are the same as those applicable to the term loans under the Credit Facility.
On November 3, 2016, we entered into a third amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment (i) extends the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date from February 7, 2018 to November 7, 2019 (provided that such maturity date will be accelerated to January 30, 2019 unless the Company’s senior notes are repaid in full or extended or refinanced on or prior to January 30, 2019) and (ii) reduces the revolver commitment from $45.0 million to $40.0 million in addition to certain other amendments to the original terms.
Under the Credit Facility, we may be required to satisfy and maintain a total leverage ratio not in excess of the leverage ratio 6.00:1.00 if there is an outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility of 25% or more of the committed amount on any quarter end. The total leverage ratio is calculated as our net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by our trailing twelve months’ Adjusted EBITDA.
On April 30, 2017, we did not have an outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility, as a result, we were not subject to a leverage test. Additionally, we were in compliance with all of our requirements and covenant tests under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility, as amended, during February 2013, November 2013 and November 2016, contains certain restrictive covenants (in each case, subject to exclusions) that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (1) create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, any liens; (2) create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any additional indebtedness; (3) consolidate, merge, amalgamate, liquidate, wind up, or dissolve themselves; (4) convey, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of assets; (5) make certain restricted payments; (6) make certain investments; (7) make any optional prepayment, repayment, or redemption with respect to, or amend or otherwise alter the terms of documents related to, certain subordinated indebtedness; (8) enter into sale leaseback transactions; (9) enter into transactions with affiliates; (10) change our fiscal year end date or the method of determining fiscal quarters; (11) enter into contracts that limit our ability to incur any lien to secure our obligations under the Credit Facility; (12) create any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any restricted subsidiary to make certain distributions; and (13) engage in certain lines of business. The Credit Facility also contains other customary restrictive covenants. The covenants are subject to various baskets and materiality thresholds.
The Third Amendment is accounted for as debt modification. Costs incurred in connection with the Third Amendment were deferred and amortized over the term of the amended Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, any unamortized deferred costs related to the old arrangement were written off in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity.
Costs related to debt financing are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt instruments utilizing the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility and the effective interest method for our senior term and revolving loan facilities. We amortized $0.7 million of deferred financing costs during each of the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019
On June 1, 2011, we issued $240.0 million of fixed rate 8.25% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2019. We may redeem all or any portion of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to redeem all of the Notes from the holders at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the repurchase. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by our direct and indirect existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flow used in operations during the three months ended April 30, 2017 totaled $6.4 million, a decrease of $16.4 million compared to the three months ended April 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily related to the following:

The change in accounts receivable resulted in a $9.2 million decrease to cash provided by operating activities.
The change in inventories resulted in a $5.0 million decrease to cash provided by operating activities due to the completion and transfer of assembled equipment to our rental fleet.
The change in gain on sale of equipment resulted in a $0.5 million decrease due to higher sales of equipment in the current fiscal period.
The change in depreciation and amortization resulted in a $0.4 million decrease, primarily due to the higher disposition of aged equipment and the impairment of long-lived assets in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.

The decreases above are partially offset by the following:

Net loss decreased $63.6 million from a net loss of $71.8 million during the three months ended April 30, 2016 to a net loss of $8.2 million during the three months ended April 30, 2017.
The change in deferred income taxes resulted in a $16.3 million increase to cash provided by operating activities.
The change in accounts payable and other liabilities resulted in a $1.2 million increase to cash used in operating activities primarily due to cost saving initiatives implemented in the current year.

42


The change in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a $0.7 million increase, primarily due to a decrease in payments of software support subscriptions and collections of miscellaneous receivables.
The change in share-based compensation expense resulted in a $0.4 million increase, primarily due to the remeasurement of our stock options accounted for as liability awards in the three months ended April 30, 2016

 
Cash Used In Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities consists of cash used to purchase property and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment from our rental fleet. Purchases of property and equipment totaled $9.8 million and $21.1 million during the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Proceeds from equipment sales totaled $0.5 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in capital expenditures was due to prior year accelerated capital spending to increase the quality of our rental fleet.

Cash Used In Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities represents principal payments on our debt.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash
The effect of foreign currency translation on cash resulted in a decrease of $0.4 million and $0.04 million to cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Euro/USD, the British Pound Sterling/USD and Canadian dollar/USD spot rates changed from 1.140, 1.461, and 0.798, respectively, as of April 30, 2016 to 1.089, 1.294, and 0.732, respectively, as of April 30, 2017.

Hedging Activities
From time to time, we may use interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our debt with variable interest rates into a fixed interest rate obligation. Under our interest rate swap agreements, we typically agree to pay the counterparty a fixed interest rate in exchange for receiving interest payments based on an interest rate that will vary similarly to the rate on the debt that we are attempting to hedge. We have historically conducted our swaps with large well-capitalized counterparties whom we determined to be creditworthy.
    
Our interest rate swaps expired as of July 31, 2016 and we are not a party to any new interest rate swaps since the swaps expired in July 2016 as of April 30, 2017. We are always evaluating the interest rate risk exposure and could enter into agreements to manage our risk.

Contractual Obligations
There has been no material change to our contractual obligations as disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
    As of April 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rates
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps, collars or options to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of April 30, 2017, our total indebtedness was $641.7 million (including $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2019 and $401.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of LIBOR term loans (subject to a 1.25% floor) under our term loan facility). A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the assumed interest rates on the credit facilities would result in a $1.5 million increase or decrease in reported net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2017.



43



Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes
We currently have branch operations outside the United States, and our foreign subsidiaries conduct their business in local currency. Our operations in Canada are denominated in the Canadian dollar, operations in the Netherlands, Germany and France are denominated in the Euro, and operations in the United Kingdom are denominated in the British Pound Sterling. Likewise, we pay our expenses in the local currencies, described above, in the areas in which we operate. We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our non-United States operations are translated into U.S. dollars. Based upon the financial results of our international operations during the period relative to the Company as a whole, a 10% change in the exchange rates would not have a material impact on our after-tax earnings.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (its principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2017.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended April 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
