KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE: CTOS), a leading provider of specialty equipment to the electric utility, telecom, rail, forestry, waste management and other infrastructure-related end markets, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
CTOS Third-Quarter Highlights
- Total revenue of $447.2 million, an increase of $24.2 million, or 5.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Gross profit of $91.8 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 2.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Adjusted Gross Profit of $137.8 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 2.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Net loss of $17.4 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 28.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Adjusted EBITDA of $80.2 million, a 0.2% increase compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Increased Average OEC on rent by $38.0 million, or 3.6% compared to the second quarter of 2024
- Upsized ABL revolving credit facility limit by $200 million, to $950 million, with extended maturity to 2029
"In the third fiscal quarter, we achieved sequential improvement in net income and a slight increase in Adjusted EBITDA. As discussed in our recent earnings calls, our core T&D markets experienced a slowdown over recent quarters, which particularly impacted our ERS segment. However, this decline has proven to be temporary, and we observed significant improvements in the third quarter, which have continued into the fourth quarter. Through late October, OEC on rent has increased by over $200 million, or 20%, since the end of the second quarter. While a portion of this growth can be attributed to our customers' recovery and restoration work associated with recent weather events, the majority stems from non-storm-related work in our core T&D and vocational end-markets. We are optimistic about fiscal 2025 and believe we are well-positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds driven by AI and data center investments, electrification, and utility grid upgrades," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. "We continue to see strong demand in our infrastructure, rail, and telecom end-markets, all of which contributed to our TES segment performance. Segment sales increased by 12.6% this quarter and over 8% year-to-date, building on nearly 30% growth in fiscal 2023. Our sales backlog has returned to a more normalized level of just under five months, which is within our desired range of four to six months, as OEM production and overall supply chains improve," McMonagle added.

Management Commentary
Consolidated total revenue increased on a sequential quarter basis by $24.2 million, to $447.2 million, driven by higher levels of new truck sales and equipment on rent. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, total revenue increased by 3.0%. Rental revenue for the third quarter of 2024 decreased 8.4% to $108.3 million, compared to $118.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Equipment sales increased 7.9% in the third quarter of 2024 to $305.5 million, compared to $283.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.
ERS segment rental revenue and used equipment sales revenue increased by $4.6 million (4.6%) and $7.9 million (20.8%), respectively, on a sequential quarter basis, driven by improvements in equipment uptakes for transmission and distribution job starts, as well as the benefit from our customers' storm-related work. Average OEC on rent and utilization each improved sequentially by 3.6% and 2.1%, respectively, with average OEC on rent growth of $38.0 million and average utilization improving to 73.2% in the quarter. ERS segment rental revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $105.3 million compared to $114.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, an 8.4% decrease. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, used equipment sales decreased 12.7% in the third quarter of 2024 to $45.6 million compared to $52.2 million. ERS gross profit improved $2.8 million (7.0%) on a sequential quarter basis, to $42.5 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, ERS gross profit declined from $58.0 million to $42.5 million. Adjusted Gross Profit improved sequentially to $87.5 million compared to $83.3 million.
TES segment revenue increased by $12.0 million (4.8%) on a sequential quarter basis to $259.9 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, revenue in our TES segment in the third quarter of 2024 increased 12.6%. This increase was driven primarily by robust demand for our products in the forestry and utility end-markets. Gross profit increased by 5.2% to $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. TES saw a reduction in backlog of 49% to $395.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the impact of an improved supply chain and availability of most products. As of the end of the third quarter, our new sales backlog represented approximately 4.6 months of new equipment sales, which is in our historical normal range of four to six months.
APS segment revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $36.4 million, essentially flat on a sequential quarter basis and also compared to $36.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin was 20.3% in the third quarter of 2024, a slight improvement on a sequential quarter basis but a decrease from 25.7% in the third quarter of 2023. APS gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 continued to be negatively impacted by lower levels of tools and accessories rentals and higher costs of materials.
Net loss was $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net loss of $24.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Comparing the third quarter of 2024 net loss to net income of $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, the decrease is primarily due to decreased gross profit and higher interest expense on variable-rate debt and variable-rate floor plan liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $80.2 million, a slight improvement of 0.2% on a sequential quarter basis. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the 19.9% decrease from $100.2 million was largely driven by a decline in rental revenue as a result of the year-over-year decrease in OEC on rent and utilization, as well as lower used equipment sales in our ERS segment. Adjusted EBITDA also decreased due to higher costs associated with variable-rate floorplan liabilities as a result of higher interest rates and inventory levels.
As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents was $8.4 million, Total Debt outstanding was $1,589.6 million, Net Debt was $1,581.1 million and Net Leverage Ratio was 4.44x. During the quarter, the Company amended the senior secured credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $750.0 million to $950.0 million, and extend the maturity date of the agreement from April 1, 2026 to August 9, 2029. Availability under the senior secured credit facility was $319.0 million as of September 30, 2024, and based on our borrowing base, we have an additional $190.9 million of suppressed availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Ending OEC increased by $35.8 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, CTOS purchased $5.5 million of its common stock.
OUTLOOK
We are updating our full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1, 4 guidance for 2024. Since the end of the second quarter of 2024, we have seen an increase in OEC on rent of over $200 million, or 20%, as of late October, as we have seen the previously discussed headwinds in our utility end markets abate. The improvement includes an estimated $40 million to $60 million of OEC on rent resulting from our customers' storm-related work. However, we continue to experience some softness in our sale of used equipment that we expect will continue through the balance of the fiscal year. As a result, we are reducing the top end of our ERS revenue outlook by $15 million. Regarding TES, supply chain improvements, healthy inventory levels, and more normalized backlog levels continue to improve our ability to produce and deliver more units in 2024, albeit at a lower growth rate than experienced in fiscal 2023. Our customers continue to need our equipment but are choosing to delay certain purchase decisions influenced by both their expectation of lower interest rates to come and the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election. As a result, we are lowering the top end of our revenue outlook by $75 million, which results in an estimated TES revenue growth for the year of 6.0% to 12.6%. While we are lowering the top end of our consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1, 4 guidance ranges for this year, we continue to believe the long-term outlook for growth in rental, used and new equipment sales demand remains strong across all of our end markets. Also, by the end of the fiscal year we now expect to deliver a net leverage ratio3, 4 that will be flat to a modest decrease from current levels, but expect further progress in fiscal 2025 towards our stated goal to achieve a net leverage ratio below 3.0x as we see the benefits of recent working capital management initiatives take hold. "We continue to have confidence in the long-term strength of our end markets and the continued execution by our teams to profitably grow our business, better serve our customers and position CTOS for future growth. As I noted last quarter, we believed that the decline in our core T&D markets was temporary, and we have seen significant signs of improvement throughout our third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter. We continue to anticipate a return to double-digit Adjusted EBITDA1, 4 growth in 2025 and expect to generate meaningful positive levered free cash flow2, 4 and deliver improved leverage," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS.

1 | Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. Refer to the section below entitled "Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures" for further information about Adjusted EBITDA. | |
2 | Levered Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less cash flow for 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. | |
3 | Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP 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. Refer to the section below entitled "Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures" for further information about net leverage ratio. | |
4 | CTOS is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio for the year ending December 31, 2024 to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measure due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect such GAAP measures including, but not limited to, customer buyout requests on rentals with rental purchase options and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio should not be used to predict their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure as the differences between the respective measures are variable and unpredictable. |

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 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. 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 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 for the previous twelve-month period ("last twelve months," or "LTM").

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired rental fleet, business acquisition and merger-related costs, including integration, the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers that are accounted for under GAAP as sales-type lease and stock compensation expense. 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 ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture. | |
(2) | Represents transaction and process improvement costs related to acquisitions of businesses, including post-acquisition integration costs, which are recognized within operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive 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 and Indenture. | |
(3) | Represents the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or "RPOs"), as the application of sales-type lease accounting is not deemed to be representative of the ongoing cash flows of the underlying rental contracts. The adjustments are made pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture. The components of this adjustment are presented in the table below: |
